On this episode, we welcome Drs. Rosemary Lester-Smith and Spencer Smith to the cast, two professors in UT's Communication Sciences & Disorders department. Dr. Smith is an audiologist by trade and studies speech perception in noise. Dr. Lester-Smith is a speech-language pathologist by trade and studies essential vocal tremor. As dueling clinician-scientists in adjacent fields, they offer unique insight into why it's important for researchers to pay attention to clinical practice and why it's important for clinicians to pay important to research! Oh, also they are both advisors for me and Maansi.
