Unfortunately with his invisibility wearing off, he was forced to return for further electrical treatment but to gain more invisibility time, he needed to increase the dosage of electrical current to dangerous levels. Meanwhile Dr commander, Dr Krakow and Eve wait for news of Captain Flashman in an area known to be inhabited by Space Yetis. Will Captain Flashman die from the increased voltage? Will Captain Credo with the drugged Queen Cerulean at his side, be able to defeat Carl? And will Eve and Dr Commander, Dr Krakow be attacked a a Space Yeti?

Shannon and Mary record their Season 8 finale, catching up on what they've been doing during the school year.    They've both been busy with balancing personal and professional responsibilities, with work hours increasing for Shannon in tutoring and for Mary in advocacy work and supporting parents in IEP meetings.   In their tutoring practices, they're both advancing beyond decoding work with many of their students, and during the discussion, they both realized they had adopted sentence-composing activities, inspired by 8.8's guest, Sara Lee.   During the discussion, they detail how their students use literature-based model sentences and scaffolded imitation to build sentence skills, comprehension, and vocabulary.   Shannon describes how she adds language support using English Linking Blocks and word lists.   The discussion then highlights their excitement about UFLI's upcoming structured morphology curriculum, Word Origins (adapted from Australia).   In the episode chat, they also touch on the AMIRA screener, Mary's recent SWI professional learning through Word Torque, and how they're both supporting students' math knowledge and skills in their tutoring.   Listen in to catch up with these reading teachers and find out how their literacy instruction continues to evolve.00:38 Life as Busy Parents02:30 Tutoring and Advocacy Load04:29 Discovering Sentence Composing07:37 Harry Potter Hook09:17 Linking Blocks Breakthrough13:18 From Sentences to Writing19:43 Structured Morphology Word Origins22:58 Structured Morphology Wins23:48 Curriculum Fidelity First27:06 Word Origins Details28:41 Australia Connections31:17 Getting It Into Schools32:15 Georgia Reading Screening37:59 Math Fluency Intervention40:22 Subitizing And Word Problems47:12 Wrap Up Season NotesRECOMMENDED RESOURCES RELEVANT TO THE EPISODE:UFLI Word Origins news updates formUFLI Word Origins InformationHands-On English Linking BlocksWord Torque websiteWord Inquiry In ActionReviews of Curriculum - The Reading LeagueGA Dyslexia Handbook related to updated laws for HS 307Math Their WayAubree Teaches - conceptual, visual math Aubree Teaches - store (this is not an affiliated link)Support the showGet Literacy Support through our PatreonBonus Episodes access through your podcast appBonus episodes access through PatreonBuy us a coffeeGet a FREE Green Chef box using our link

Australian magpies are even cleverer birds than we thought. New research from Dr Stephanie Mason shows that they do two language-like things we used to think only humans could do: learn their calls socially, and combine their calls in a way that looks a lot like syntax.

In this Huberman Lab Essentials episode, my guest is Dr. Eddie Chang, MD, a neurosurgeon and Chair of the Department of Neurological Surgery at the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF). We discuss the neural circuits underlying speech and language, including how the brain controls the larynx, vocal folds and articulators to shape breath into words. We also explore his pioneering work on speech neural prosthetics — brain-machine interfaces that allow paralyzed patients to communicate by decoding neural activity into speech and avatar-driven facial expressions. Additionally, we examine the neurobiology of stuttering, the role of auditory feedback in fluent speech, and the broader ethical questions surrounding brain augmentation technologies.
