Hi Reddit! I am a postdoctoral researcher at the University of Rochester Medical Center. My background is in clinical psychology and Deaf mental health. I am currently studying how early language exposure (or lack thereof) can affect medical and behavioral health outcomes. My research is supported through a joint program for deaf postdocs at the University of Rochester and the Rochester Institute of Technology. I’ll be back at 1 pm ET (10 am PT, 6 pm UTC) Ask me anything about my research, or what it is like to be a Deaf scientist! EDIT: Hi r/science (and Reddit), I am here! WOW, there are some great questions here. I intend to answer as many as I can, keep them coming! EDIT 2: It is now 3pm EST, I need to bike home (yes, I winter-bike!). I am enjoying your questions and I plan to continue answering questions tonight. EDIT 3: I need to take a break for the night! I plan to continue answering questions tomorrow, and the rest of the week until I get to everyone! Feel free to ask something, I will get to it!
