A short conversational exchange (Robin and Hallie Bulkin) discussing perceived unfairness and hypocrisy in conference proposal selection. They argue that proposals on certain topics (e.g., breathing, myofunctional airway) and presenters without commercial products are being rejected, suggesting selection bias by topic rather than legitimate conflicts of interest.
But she's easy peasy and she presented and had a table at Asha. Why is it okay for her to present and she has products I don't even make money off cups, drawers, any of that. I only make money and always disclose off of tools or products that I've created. Mainly textbooks.
Yeah, but Robin, it's not even you that's getting denied, right? I mean I know I've got friends and colleagues who submitted on different breathing myo airway, you know, all these different topics and not one presentation was accepted. They maybe they have private practices but they haven't written anything. They don't have courses. They don't have things to sell. Right. They're just there to educate like they do their families and their patients and they want to educate other SLPs and they're not accepted either. So I just. It's very obvious they're reaching.
It's excuses and it's hypocritical because we know the real reason isn't that that I'm a consultant for talk pools. It's the topic.
