Looking forward to hearing your views on the research!
Hi Mark,
Welcome to your new job! I have agreed with Mark that he will write 1-2 posts per week. He is educated in genetics, so should be able to give us a better perspective than myself.
Oh Mark, I just re-sized your picture! It is best not to link to pics, but copy the picture location and upload and then re-size. I don't want your pic to scare the readers! ;-)
Best wishes,
Tom
Tom - I'm confused about the picture. I uploaded it last night and it appears now the same as it did then. I'll have to look at the code next time.
But the picture was much bigger when i saw it, and i re-sized it?

Cool blog you got here. I'd like to read a bit more concerning this matter. Thanx for giving that information.
what is your education in biology, are you dennis drayna?
Great, just what this blog needed - another person to say how ineffective speech therapy is. Marvellous.
Hey Mark,
Can you explain how you became more fluent later in life? Does confidence have anything to do with it? A less severe amygdaloid response? Article link:

So Speech Therapy was worthless and a waste of money? Please tell the truth.

It seems to be common for stuttering frequency and severity to subside at around age 35, which fits my example pretty good. My improvement was gradual, and only noticed over years. I still stutter every day, and I'm sure I'll stutter to the day I die. If I put myself on the spot, I would still stutter considerably, but most of my talking now is casual conversation - I'm not a telephone salesman or radio announcer. ;-)
I don't know what therapy would have done - I only know what happened without it.
