Natasha Warner<p>I'm so proud of my academic department (Linguistics at University of Arizona). We run a table at the Tucson Festival of Books, in the Science City portion, where we get lots and lots of members of the general public of all ages involved in hands-on activities about language. We use ultrasound to show them how their tongues move while they talk, which got reactions like freaky! awesome! weird! cool! We also did an activity about what language family your family's/ancestor's language fits into, which was a huge hit. I twisted a whole lot of arms last week to get enough volunteers to staff the table (and did eventually succeed), and I'm so proud of our department for putting the effort in to do public outreach about science this way. <a href="https://tenforward.social/tags/linguistics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>linguistics</span></a> <a href="https://tenforward.social/tags/Tucson" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Tucson</span></a> <a href="https://tenforward.social/tags/UniversityOfArizona" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>UniversityOfArizona</span></a> <a href="https://tenforward.social/tags/AcademicChatter" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>AcademicChatter</span></a></p>
