Roger Ingham is dead

Sad news! Roger Ingham is dead. For me, he was one of the best scientists working on stuttering. And I really appreciated his support behind the scenes. He did read this blog and appreciated (most of) my posts, especially when he could not publicly criticise some shady work for political reasons, but I could.

I visited him and his wife in Santa Barbara. They were great hosts and I stayed at their place. And I learned that I do not like cold Mexican soups but I ate it nevertheless, as you do! ;-)

I still remember that he said that they found a very effective treatment for stuttering. I believe it was practising the onset a million times. I am wondering what happened to that approach. He promised to send me some papers once they published it.

Here is the blog post, I wrote about my visit.

Here is his obituary in the Santa Barbara Independent.

Thank you, Professor Ingham, for all you have done for stuttering research!
