Implants can help deaf kids hear—but many still struggle with spoken language Some researchers worry about risks of devaluing sign language, overreliance on imperfect devices

Honored to be mentioned alongside scholars I admire: @naomicaselli.bsky.social, Padden, Mayberry, Chen Pichler, and more! www.science.org/content/arti...

"Imperfect sounds: Cochlear implants give deaf kids unprecedented access to sound. But insisting they avoid using sign language may be risky."

On #InternationalMotherLanguageDay, I'm highlighting the 227 sign languages listed in Glottolog 5.1: glottolog.org/resource/lan...
I'd also like to point out that many deaf children do not have access to their national/local deaf community sign language: this is a linguistic human rights emergency.

The image shows myself with white hair, wearing a dark green polo shirt and pants, holding two presents - a yellow one with a gold ribbon and a red one with a gold ribbon. He stands beside a Christmas tree decorated with red poinsettias, silver and gold ornaments, and a gold star. The text "Merry Christmas and Happy New Year" appears in red at the top right.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
