Congratulations to Benjamin Parrell, Ph.D., on being selected as a 2024-2025 Fullbright U.S. Scholar. Dr. Parrell will be conducting research in Spain on speech in Spanish speakers with ataxia, a neurodegenerative disease caused by degeneration of the cerebellum. Speech symptoms in this disorder have been well documented in English and German, but little work has examined how speech is affected in Spanish speakers.
The U.S. Department of State and the Fulbright Foreign Scholarship Board selected 11 scholars from the University of Wisconsin–Madison as Fulbright U.S. Scholars for the 2024–2025 academic year. These distinguished scholars will teach and conduct research in collaboration with institutions abroad, representing a wide spectrum of disciplines.
