Emily B. Myers is an Associate Professor of Speech, Language, and Hearing Sciences and Psychological Sciences at the University of Connecticut. She received her PhD from Brown University in 2005. Her work focuses on the processes that allow a listener to map the speech signal to meaning, how these processes are instantiated in the brain, and how the system breaks down in cases of language disorder. Her work has been funded by the National Institutes of Health and the National Science Foundation.
Susan Nittrouer received her PhD from the City University of New York in Speech and Hearing Science. After a post‐doctoral fellowship at Haskins Laboratories she worked at Boys Town National Research Hospital, Utah State University, and the Ohio State University. Currently she is Professor of Speech, Language, and Hearing Sciences at the University of Florida. Her research focuses on the intersection between auditory and language development, and on the challenges encountered by children with risk factors for developmental language delays, including hearing loss, poverty, or conditions leading to dyslexia. Susan’s goal is to develop more effective interventions for these children.
