Throughout the holiday season, we are encouraging our supporters to read about the lives being impacted by our work. Read on to hear from Yuchan Gao, one of our 2022 DDG awardees!

Yuchan Gao (Arizona State University): “The award TIRF DDG will help me subscribe to software used to conduct qualitative analyses to investigate participants’ targeted language use as well as multimodal interaction patterns. Moreover, a part of the funding will be used to compensate research participants and show appreciation for their willingness to be part of this research study. Lastly, one part of the grant will be used to support travel expenses to several academic conferences, including some where I have already presented my work and others that are upcoming in 2023.”
