Inviting all children who stutter to volunteer in a paid University of Michigan MRI Study!

The Speech Neurophysiology Lab at the University of Michigan is looking for children who stutter ages 9 to 12 to participate in an in-person, longitudinal MRI study! (HUM00196133)

Our research team has been examining brain development in young children to better understand the cause of stuttering for over 10 years. We continue to gain information that may eventually lead to improved diagnosis and treatment efforts for children who stutter. 

Participants will be invited to complete speech and language assessments and an MRI session at the University of Michigan. Families receive a free speech and language report and a picture of their brain!

These visits require in person participation. There is no option to participate virtually.

Please fill out this form if you are interested in participating or email us as the flyer attached. All participants are compensated and partial travel assistance is available. Please see our flyer attached for more details! 

We also offer other studies that are open to adults or do not involve MRI, in case you're unsure about eligibility. Feel free to email us or call if you have any questions!

They require a subscription to view any of their articles now.

I’m tired of Battle Creek slander

Random post but just thought I’d share. I’m so tired of people posting in the Kzoo or Michigan subreddits asking about Battle Creek and everyone responding it’s a shithole or Kzoo has so much more. Why do people in other places talk so bad about Battle Creek? Does it make them feel better about their own situation? Realistically Kzoo and BC are not that different. The whole “kzoo has so much more to do” thing is stupid to me. Kzoo is slightly bigger with a university and what does that get them? A Costco, a few extra bars, a mall that’s dying slower than ours. And if that’s a big draw to u it’s a 30 minutes drive that people do all the time. I’m glad that there’s more Battle Creek Pride internally but I just wish we could improve our outward marketing. We have festivals every week in the summer, big projects downtown, and a lot of things that should draw more people in. We should be supporting each other as communities not dragging each other down.

have any of you ever worked at the movie theater?

i have an interview tomorrow at GQT 10 lakeview—the movie theater inside the lakeview square mall.

more than anything i’m just nervous for the interview itself—i don’t always do the greatest in those. i‘ve been practicing and have definitely gotten better since i was in high school, but i still always struggle trying to answer the “tell me about yourself” question.

so really just any interview tips, especially specific to that place? if you remember anything abt your interview there. or other tips abt working there in general.

Accidentally left bag at battle creek station.

Kind of a long shot but if anyone goes through the Battle creek Michigan station and finds a bag from the "Battle Creek Regional Museum" we'd greatly appreciate working out a way to retrieve it. From the website it appears the station is unmanned so I don't know who to call for a lost and found. We are realistic that this bag of souvenirs may be gone at this point. We boarded at 6:30 tonight on the 15th.

The staff at that museum were incredibly friendly and while the souvenirs weren't very expensive we were grateful to support them and they were kind enough to give us an extra gift. If anything the next time you ride Amtrak Midwest please pay that museum a visit. It was the highlight of our day trip... Besides the food at the old Michigan central station.

Including a picture of my bag since it matches my friends. Thank you.

ISO affordable weekly meeting space

Hi all! I’m a part of a nonprofit women’s chorus based out of Battle Creek. We are currently renting a church space weekly but were just informed that the space will no longer be available (through no fault of our own). Really just looking for ideas or spaces you all have used!

Considerations are:
Can hold about 30 people
Needs to have parking
Some accessibility features
Not crazy expensive

I’m willing to talk to anybody, so please leave your suggestions below :)

Also, happy to drop details on the chorus if anyone wants to join us once we’ve found a new home!
