Congratulations to the 2024 Tavistock Trust for Aphasia Distinguished Scholar Award Recipients: Dr. Suma Devanga, Rush University Medical Center, Chicago, Dr. Elizabeth Hoover, Boston University Sargent College, Dr. Elizabeth Madden, Florida State University, Dr. Jessica Obermeyer, University of North Carolina 🎉 🏆
These awards recognize academic excellence in all, or some, of the following areas:
- Research and publications
- Mentoring of research students dedicated to improving life with aphasia, and/or mentoring of research students to conduct research associated with quality of life, life participation, conversation or similar topics related to life with aphasia
-Working to improve external grant funding that addresses the needs of people living with aphasia https://buff.ly/4bMnDou
As the members of the ASTP already know, the mission of #KTT (knowledge and technology transfer) professionals is to be the bridge between scientific research and the economy.
Yet, many scientists struggle to #communicate science to non-scientific audiences in a way that generates interest and that leads to value creation.
The role of KTT professionals is also to explore how they can help their researchers to identify and better understand the needs of different stakeholders, so that they can better address their audience.
The key is storytelling, which has been a transversal tool to help scientists, businesses, founders & funders, as well as regulators, to understand each other and engage in impactful and fruitful conversations.
I'm happy to be sharing the stage with Jacek Plucinski at the upcoming ASTP Conference in Seville. We'll give a talk about our multi-year experience in using storytelling as an effective tool for translating scientific findings into economic values.
The examples will focus on knowledge transfer professionals, researchers, and other stakeholders, with actionable insights for all attendees. The discussion will be moderated by Anders Aune.
Looking forward to seeing you there: https://lnkd.in/deti4jEk
New Publication Alert 🚨
Our members, Professor Peter J. Anderson, PhD, SFHEA, MAIATSIS, FQA Anderson and Dr. Thu Pham, have co-authored a new paper with Dr. Levon Blue and Dr. Angela Baeza, among others. The paper is titled Indigenous higher degree by research students’ retention and completion: a scoping review. Fantastic work, everyone!
Abstract
Indigenous higher degree by research (HDR) students encounter persistent barriers within academia that impede their completion rates. This scoping review identified 17 papers published between 2016 and 2022 that relate to retention or completion rates of Indigenous HDR. Papers identified are from Australia, United States, New Zealand and Canada, and most of them have at least one Indigenous author. Two research questions guided this process: (1) What are the enablers that facilitate continuation and completion of HDR programs by Indigenous people? And (2) What barriers affect entry into, and completion of, HDR programs by Indigenous people? The review indicates a pressing need for enhanced support aimed at bolstering completion rates among Indigenous research students. What is required is prioritising various forms of assistance, including the provision of culturally responsive supervision, dedicated Indigenous staffed spaces, and a culturally secure environment that recognises and embraces Indigenous knowledge and perspectives.

Being a mentor and advisor in medical school is not just a title or a duty; it is a profound commitment to shaping the future of healthcare. The responsibility of imparting knowledge, fostering professional development, and providing guidance in such a critical field is immense. Every decision, every piece of advice, and every bit of support carries weight because it directly influences your journey toward becoming a competent and compassionate healthcare provider.
My mentee, Vanessa Molina, was selected as SHSU COM's Student Researcher of the Year to represent the institution at the American Association of Colleges of Osteopathic Medicine (AACOM). Our research aims to evaluate anatomical variations of the pudendal nerve and their impact on the gynecological management of pelvic disorders. Witnessing your dedication, enthusiasm, and significant strides in your research journey has been inspiring. Your achievements are a testament to your hard work, perseverance, and intellectual curiosity.
As we navigate the ever-evolving landscape of healthcare, it becomes increasingly clear that the contributions of anatomical research are integral to advancing medical knowledge and improving patient care. My research often involves collaboration across various disciplines, including pathology, physiology, and biomechanics. This interdisciplinary approach fosters a holistic understanding of the human body and encourages collaboration among researchers, clinicians, and educators.
