Popular Social Media Posts – October

It’s that time of the month where we take a look at some of our popular publications social media posts on Facebook, Instagram, X (Twitter), and LinkedIn. The following posts got people to like, share, save, and perhaps most importantly, read the published research!
On the ASA Facebook page, a Proceedings of Meetings on Acoustics (POMA) post featuring “Modeling the sound radiation of gamelan gongs using analytic rigid spherical models” got shared quite a bit. You can visit the post first or read the article at https://doi.org/10.1121/2.0001754.
Users on Instagram really liked the loudspeaker array from “Sound field synthesis for psychoacoustic research: In situ evaluation of auralized sound pressure level” published in The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America (JASA). You can like the IG post or go check out the entire article at https://doi.org/10.1121/10.0021066.

Then, on Linked In, the Acoustics Today (AT) collection covering Human Psychoacoustics piqued users’ interest. Leave your own reactions on the post or check out the articles at https://acousticstoday.org/at-collections-human-psychoacoustics/.
Over on the JASA Express Letter X (Twitter) account, the post featuring the Editor’s Pick, “Higher-order mode filtering by a resistive layer” got a lot of love. See the original tweet here or skip straight to reading the article at: https://doi.org/10.1121/10.0021283.

New Across Acoustics Episode: Discovery of Sound in the Sea

Started after a mysterious beaching of beaked whales and dolphins, Discovery of Sound in the Sea (DOSITS, https://dosits.org/) has been providing educational content to the public about the science of underwater sound for over 20 years. In this episode, we talk to Kathleen Vigness-Raposa (Inspire Environmental) and Holly Morin (University of Rhode Island) about how the site has developed over time, resources available on the site, upcoming initiatives, and how acousticians can get involved with DOSITS.

Popular Publications Posts – September

This month, the most popular posts on Facebook, Instagram, X (Twitter), and LinkedIn were all related to the latest volume of Acoustics Today (AT), which was published online early in September.

Then, on X (formerly known as Twitter), users were really intrigued by this post about the article, “A Century of Acousto-Optics: From Early Discoveries to Modern Sensing of Sound with Light,” Read it to learn about the history and to look ahead into some of the exciting prospects in the field at https://doi.org/10.1121/AT.2023.19.3.54.

Finally, over at LinkedIn, users have been commenting on the post highlighting the AT Letter from the President to congratulate the newly elected ASA President, Stan E. Dosso. Read the complete letter at https://acousticstoday.org/from-the-president-stan-dosso/.

Fall Issue of Acoustics Today now out!

The fall issue of Acoustics Today is now out! The cover features a drawing of the Riverbank Laboratories with a detailed view of the reverberation chamber (image credit: courtesy of JSTOR and Eric Wolfram, Riverbank Acoustical Laboratories), from an article about the challenge of determining sound absorption of a given material.

Other topics in this issue:

  • Current research into the high-frequency range of human hearing and its impact on our understanding of speech
  • Using focused ultrasound for incisionless brain surgery
  • Using acoustic streaming to help deliver drugs to hard-to-reach areas of the body
  • The field of Conservation Bioacoustics, where passive sound monitoring is used to monitor an environment and animals
  • Acousto-optic sensing, or the use of light to measure acoustic phenomena

Plus there’s an interview with Jennifer Cooper of the Johns Hopkins Applied Physics Laboratory, updates on the Proceedings of Meetings on Acoustics, a story of a retired acoustician who now shares his expertise as a substitute teacher, information about ExploreSound.org, and announcement of the winners of the ASA Awards at the 2023 International Science and Engineering Fair.

If you don’t want to wait for your print copy to arrive in the mail, you can check out the entire issue online!

New Across Acoustics Episode: An Acoustician’s Guide to SciCom

In this episode, we talk to the ASA’s very own Keeta Jones, Education and Outreach Coordinator, about science communication: everything from common mistakes scientists make when talking to others about their research, to how to communicate to different types of audiences, to a bevy of tips and tricks you can use when sharing your work with others– whether it’s your grandmother at Thanksgiving, a government official looking to inform new policies, or even colleagues in adjacent fields.
