Congratulations to Grace Bengtson and Yadong Liu, our two winners of the Best Student Presentations Awards from this year’s Acoustics Week in Canada, held in Montreal 3-6 Oct 2023: Grace won for her presentation of “Tongue Adjustments in the Chest-Head Register Transition of Operatic Singers” and Yadong for “Timing of Perioral Muscle Suppression in Smiled Speech.”
This year’s AWC set the record for highest attendance, so competition was fierce – and this was Grace’s first conference presentation ever! Great work, Grace and Yadong!
