Subject: Re: [AUDITORY] Silence from leaders in auditory science From: Samuel Mehr <sam@xxxxxxxx> Date: Wed, 19 Mar 2025 13:02:42 +1300----==_mimepart_67da09a28e1ed_da1fa6823898 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Dear Perry et al, At risk of expressing a somewhat cynical view, I think individual scientists making a fuss publicly, whether in the form of open letters or big public rallies, will have far less of an effect than lobbying US university leaders themselves to get THEM to make a fuss publicly. Why is Columbia's president not on the front page of the Times every day explaining calmly and clearly that gutting university funding is a bad idea, when they've had literally hundreds of NIH/NSF grants cancelled? Why are university presidents uniformly silent, opting to "work on it behind the scenes" rather than doing serious public advocacy? (with the exception of Wesleyan's Michael Roth). Why were no university presidents visibly part of the Stand Up for Science demonstrations that Sarah Creel mentioned? Mark Copelovitch has been beating this drum on Bluesky for awhile, eg <https://bsky.app/profile/mcopelov.bsky.social/post/3lkm6gfay3k2n>. I've said as much in conversation with leadership at Yale, where I'm a part- time faculty member. I think more faculty members should be telling our deans and provosts and presidents to get out in public and make a fuss. In the absence of any real pushback to the gutting of American science from our own universities, though, students can and should look elsewhere. The science doesn't care if it's done on American soil and the good news there is that=C2=A0there are many excellent auditory folks wh= o don't happen to work stateside. I'm not sure if I count as 'excellent' but here at the Centre for Developmental Science (University of Auckland, New Zealand) we have open PhD spots, with competitive university scholarships and grant-funded positions, in the development of auditory perception. At the moment our team is more immigrants than kiwis and prospective students should feel free to get in touch.

It is true that there has been= <br> little in terms of vocal pushback from our community. For example, a quick<= br> google search will show that there are no high-profile articles regarding<b= r> our field in response to funding cuts. It is important, if you would like<b= r> to organize such a response, to formalize what is meant by:<br> =C2=A0<br> 1) Statement<br> 2) Senior leaders<br> =C2=A0<br> It may not be productive to chastise people for "looking to comply&quo= t; or<br> "save themselves" when later-career researchers are also at threa= t from<br> public funding cuts. In my experience, people across the field and across<b= r> age groups are concerned not only for themselves but for their students and= <br> colleagues. There is not really a way for such people to comply or save<br> themselves if their grants disappear. There is a sense of futility and fear= <br> at all levels. It is also important to note that our colleagues span the<br= > political spectrum, and many may be in support of the cuts -- we cannot<br> speak for the entire field.<br> =C2=A0<br> I would support, very much, a public statement from scientists in the field= <br> that could hopefully make it to a high-profile publication such as the New<= br> York Times. A productive and well-led team could certainly draft such a<br> statement, but it would need to be backed by late-career, awarded<br> scientists to have any impact.<br> =C2=A0<br> I can say that many young scientists at auditory labs here in New York, and= <br> at least two PIs from institutions I am familiar with would probably be<br> willing to consider this idea. They are not on this list and I cannot speak= <br> for them, but I can reach out. Such a statement would require significant<b= r> organization that is not so easy to achieve in any field. If any senior<br> scientist in this email chain would be interested in spearheading such an<b= r> effort, that would be wonderful. Otherwise, the idea is DoA because the<br> concern is not sufficiently present in the community -- that would be a<br> shame, but may be the case.<br> =C2=A0<br> Thanks,<br> Brian Frost<br> =C2=A0<br> </td></tr> =20 <tr><td style=3D"background-color: #fff; color:#2e2e2e; font-family: ar= ial; padding:10px 15px; border:1px solid #d3d3d3;"> <span style=3D"color:#b1b0b0; font-size: 15px;"> Gunter Kreutz <gunter.kreutz@xxxxxxxx>: Mar 18 08:16AM +0100 </span> <br><br> Dear list,<br> =C2=A0<br> the brutal reality is that the US administration has declared war on its<br= > democratic institutions, the legal system, the media, the checks and<br> balances system, social security, science and humanities, and above all it<= br> (and that is not Trump alone, but equally the "masterminds" of th= e heritage<br> foundation) declared war on the values shared by the so-called free world.<= br> - Is this exaggerated?<br> =C2=A0<br> Who could blame young US scientists to consider their future in Canada,<br> Britain, the Far East, or in the EU?<br> =C2=A0<br> Sorry for being off-topic.

The p= roject will explore a variety of methods to understand hearing device user = preferences related to speech in complex settings. New speech quality metri= cs will be derived for optimising existing deep-learning enhancement approa= ches in a user-dependent manner. The Project Partner is the Royal National = Institute for Deaf People (RNID).<br> On Project Sa.24.3, the Supervisors are Professor Antonio J. Torija Martine= z and Dr Zuzanna Podwinska at the University of Salford. This project will = involve updating psychoacoustic models for sharpness and impulsiveness base= d on the Sottek Hearing Model, optimising the modelling of complex sound fi= elds in this context, and validating these models by means of listening tes= ts. The Project Partner is HEAD Acoustics.<br> For both projects, the research would suit graduates in Acoustics and Audio= logy who have a solid understanding and expertise in signal processing and = coding and some experience in mathematical modelling. We are seeking applic= ants who have an interest in sound beyond Acoustics and who want to join an= d collaborate across a diverse community of researchers. We will provide yo= u with access to bespoke training and specialist laboratories to support yo= ur individual research and develop the core skills to make a difference in = your future career.<br> Please share with your networks.<br> Kind regards,<br> Simone<br> =C2=A0<br> =C2=A0<br> --<br> =C2=A0<br> Simone Graetzer Ph.D., MIOA<br> =C2=A0<br> =C2=A0<br> =C2=A0<br> Senior Research Fellow<br> =C2=A0<br> Acoustics Research Centre<br> =C2=A0<br> School of Science, Engineering and Environment<br> =C2=A0<br> University of Salford<br> =C2=A0<br> Greater Manchester M5 4WT<br> =C2=A0<br> =C2=A0<br> Co-Investigator, EPSRC Centre for Doctoral Training in Sustainable Sound Fu= tures <a href=3D"https://soundfutures.salford.ac.uk/">https://soundfutures.= salford.ac.uk/</a><br> =C2=A0<br> Researcher Co-Lead, EPSRC Noise Network Plus <a href=3D"https://www.ukri.or= g/news/tackling-tomorrows-engineering-research-challenges/">https://www.ukr= i.org/news/tackling-tomorrows-engineering-research-challenges/</a><br> =C2=A0<br> Early Career Special Interest Group and EDI Lead, UK Acoustics Network Plus= <a href=3D"https://acoustics.ac.uk/">https://acoustics.ac.uk/</a><br> </td></tr> =20 </tbody></table> <div style=3D"align:right; font-size:11px; margin-bottom: 40px; margin-to= p:5px;"> <a style=3D"color:#15c;text-decoration:none" href=3D"./#digest_top">Bac= k to top</a> </div> =20 <a name=3D"group_thread_3"></a> <div style=3D"display:inline-block; font-family: arial; padding: 4px 0 5p= x 0;"> =20 <a href=3D"http://groups.google.com/group/auditory-list/t/b37a430506b4b= a3?utm_source=3Ddigest&utm_medium=3Demail" style=3D"font-size:21px; col= or:#15c; text-decoration:none"> [AUDITORY] E.A.R.S.
