The Genetics of Stuttering Study team kicked off a media campaign on Friday 16 August 2019 bringing stuttering as a topic for conversation across Australia.

Highlights from the day as well as more information about the study (including how to participate) can be found on their website:

‘How was the weekend?’

‘Yeah good’

‘Get up to much?’

‘Not really, you?’ (Phew, avoided having to say too much there.  Let’s see how the rest of the day goes …)

‘Hey Vikesh, great job on that presentation today. ‘

‘Thanks mate.’

(I don’t even remember how the presentation went today.  I was so focused on my stutter –  or trying to avoid the stutter – that I just read the PowerPoint slides and hoped it was enough.

And now, conference call time. This should be fun…)
