Hi everyone!

I am a graduate student at the University of California, Davis. I'm desperately looking for individuals who use ASL--especially interpreters--for a pilot study for my dissertation. If you have a spare moment, I would like to invite you to take this completely online research survey. Your contribution to this research will help neuroscientists learn more about how sign language is processed in the brain for those who use both a spoken and signed language.

This research has been approved by the UC Davis IRB board. Below is some more information, and the link to the study:

Study of Sign Language Processing: 

What is the purpose of this study?

By evaluating participant responses to this short, online experiment, we can get a better understanding of the neural mechanisms that are used to support sign language processing in the brain.

Who can participate?

We encourage anyone (even hearing parents or individuals who use ASL consistently) from anywhere in the US to participate.

Eligible participants meet the following criteria:

·       Between 18-50 years of age.

·       Normal cognitive function.

·       Consistent use of American Sign Language.

·       Have normal or corrected-to-normal vision.

·       High school competency (9th grade) in reading English

What does participation look like?

This experiment is an approximately 20-minute online study, which should be taken on a laptop or computer. You will be presented with a consent form, a short background questionnaire, and then a decision task. You will see videos of a deaf person signing, then you will press a key on the keyboard in response.

Here is the link to the study: https://research.sc/participant/login/dynamic/DFB825B2-1571-4380-9CBD-D666D51DAAB9

Additional Project Information:

This study was approved by the University of California, Davis IRB (an ethics board) [2402245-1]

Your information will be kept confidential and in a secure database.

If you have any questions, please contact Anna Boyer at [email protected] or 330-357-1277.

      How can a student ensure their writing aligns directly with the latest CIPD Profession Map outcomes?

      By AlexEden · Posted

      Students can ensure their writing aligns directly with the CIPD Profession Map by mapping assignments to the core professional behaviours (e.g., Ethical Practice, Professional Courage, Curious) and specialist knowledge standards relevant to their unit level. Demonstrate how practical application of the Profession Map’s core behaviours (like Valuing People, Working Inclusively, or Evidence-Based Practice) solves real-world workplace issues. Ensure to strengthen arguments with credible data by referencing official CIPD articles, toolkits, and current UK employment guidelines (such as Acas resources). And if you are struggling to apply Harvard referencing, then get help from professional CIPD assignment experts because you need to format the assignment using the four standard pillars: knowledge, analysis, professional practice, and referencing.

      Fingerspelling Game

      That sounds like a fun way to practice and improve signing skills. Games usually make learning feel much more relaxed, and they help people remember things better. It also reminds me how simple word games, like foot puns, can make learning activities more enjoyable because everyone likes sharing a good laugh while picking up something new.

      How to handle client changes in residential estimates?

      By Connor Gill · Posted

      Clear communication is probably the most important part when a client requests changes. Even small adjustments can affect materials, labor, and the overall schedule if they aren't reviewed properly. Updating the estimate before moving forward helps everyone stay on the same page. I've also seen arizona construction estimating services help contractors keep revised costs organized, making it easier to explain the impact of changes to clients.

      One thing that's made a big difference for me is discussing the cost impact of any changes with the client before the work moves forward. It helps avoid surprises and keeps everyone on the same page. Even small design changes can affect labor and material costs more than people expect. If you're managing projects in that region, arizona construction estimating services can also help keep revised estimates accurate when those changes come up.
