#Phonetician friends, if I had to get rugged, field oriented digital recorders, head-mounted microphones and headphones - what should I be looking at? If these could easily function in a lab setting that would be a plus...
One of the major extrinsic hurdles to increasing outreach for @manylanguagesc.bsky.social has been structural and institutional requirements for potential collaborators to be `first authors' and/or 'last authors' for them to even be considered candidates for positions. <long rant coming>
The difficulty of measuring #intensity and the ease of measuring #duration perhaps is the reason why so many contrasts rely heavily on #duration, despite its infeasibility as a stable cue across contexts #unpopularopinion

Is it just me? Or do we all hate out-of-office (ooo) mails? Emails are impersonal, ooo mails are the epitome of that. It is saying, "I don't care who you are but hey, I am not here. I will be. At some point of time. But not now." Academics, be mindful that your ooo mail lands in students inbox also.
