Take home point: Deaf signers activate the parts of their brain used for movement when reading an English word. For example, if a Deaf signer were to read the English word "cat", the motor representation of the ASL sign "cat" will be activated even though there is nothing else...
...being seen except for the plain English text of "cat". This opens up an intriguing area of study investigating sign language action representation in the brain!

✨🧡✨ After that insane response to my job news - here’s a thread about how I ended up at my dream job w/Disney & an illustration of why an untraditional path to tech should never stop you (& is maybe better?):
When I was little I loved computers/math/science/the brain/language. My mom was a school psychologist so she always called me her little speech therapist (which makes sense bc to her that was a job that she knew of that involved language).
From the time I was 7yo I was that kid that stomped around saying β€˜I’m going to be a speech pathologist!’ I still liked math/science/computers, but figured I could worry about that later.

Twenty years ago I said β€˜one day’ & today I said β€˜day one.’ ImageImage
First picture is me this past weekend right outside Disney’s Grand Central Creative Campus, where I would have worked if we were in non-covid times.
Second picture is what my mom refers to as my β€˜first publication’, a book I made when I was 7 years old that’s filled with reasons why I love Disney.

I can't believe I used to avoid using code from tutorials. Please do NOT think this is plagiarizing if you're first starting out in data science. Once I started pulling bits+pieces from different tutorials for my personal projects, it was unbelievable how quickly I started 1/4
understanding concepts. By pulling a few lines here and there from different tutorials doing 'the same thing' I start to see what is actually happening in the code and adjust it accordingly for my use. 2/4
Oftentimes this results in something that doesn't even look like where the tutorial started.

Please also always be sure to give credit where credit is due + comment on tutorial pages. 3/4

What do you think is the most commonly used word in @theofficenbc? What about by character?

Check out some word clouds I made of our fav characters from #TheOffice using the new #shRute package πŸ‘©πŸ»β€πŸ’»

Bonus: How many times do you think Michael actually said "That's what she said"?
@theofficenbc Michael Scott's most commonly used words (the larger the word the more it was used) for all seasons of The Office: ImageImage

Literally getting my phd at the only university designed for deaf and hard of hearing students in the world, all of my classes, lectures, comps, defenses, and proposals are in sign language and, even with almost four years’ experience with this...
I learn something new about this culture and language every. single. day. The depth and complexity is equivalent to that of any spoken language culture and, in my humble opinion, tends to be vastly more interesting.
I think bc it INSTANTLY challenges any person’s preconceived (unconscious) notion of what language is.
