Our STEMM-HEAR R25 students (undergrads and one grad) are forming bonds and practicing advocacy while discussing communication disorders research, research integrity, and professional development before going off to work in labs around the US 😊

“It is very encouraging to see meaningful improvements in some adult patients,” Chen said. “It suggests there may be more flexibility in the human auditory system than we expected.” www.massgeneralbrigham.org/en/about/new... @mgbresearch.bsky.social << congrats to former grantee Zheng-Yi Chen!

"Regeneron will provide Otarmeni at no cost to clinically eligible individuals in the U.S. This may not necessarily reflect out-of-pocket costs for administration of this free therapy" investor.regeneron.com/news-release... #genetherapy @regeneron.com

Rigor is such a ubiquitous word, but what is it in practice? We're interested in researchers' understanding of rigor. Let us know your take in the comments! #GradStudentLife #BiomedicalResearch #NINDS #CommunityforRigor #ScientificRigor

Our R25 otolaryngology research training program is now accepting applications from med students. Link to application is on the website. Please share! www.hopkinsmedicine.org/otolaryngolo...

Thanks to Sharna Jamadar, Nicky Chong-White, Davyn Tam and Julia Kam, we have a solution for making MRI scans accessible for people with hearing loss in research and clinical projects: apertureneuro.org/article/1551...

I FINALLY HAD SOME WORK COME THROUGH TODAY! If I can get some more work under my belt before February 4th, I will make rent! Please, if I can help you make closed captions for your YouTube videos or other video content, I encourage you to use my contact form so I can help you get started!

At OHBM in Brisbane in June we had a round table session for accessibility in MRI scanners and science: www.linkedin.com/posts/jt-rat...

It's really nice when people actually use software that you create. This is an updated usage figure for the MRIQC.org Web API showing continued usage for the last 7 years, with more than half a million unique BOLD images in BIDS datasets! If you aren't already using MRIQC, check it out!

Brain microscopy with annotations for better understanding ☺️! What if we take a deep dive into the cerebral sulcus? The grey matter has the neurons' cell bodies🔵, and while microglia🟣are more evenly distributed, astrocytes🟡 shape changes in the white matter. #Neuroscience #Microscopy 🧠🔬

This is one of the most consequential papers on accessibility for surgical discipline residents with hearing loss - journals.lww.com/academicmedi... The supplementary information is even more informative. Should be compulsory reading for all surgical residency program directors.

Dear #Botany2025 speakers - please DO use the microphone (stand by the podium so it can pick you up) so that those of us who have hearing issues/are hard of hearing/are d/Deaf can hear your excellent science! Thanks! Props to the meeting organizers for setting up subtitles in Powerpoint, yayyyyyy

The N.I.H. has terminated hundreds of diversity grants awarded to young researchers, many of whom come from the very places that supported Trump. www.nytimes.com/2025/07/10/u...

Honoured to have planned and participated in this endeavour -- www.linkedin.com/posts/sharna...

Our next #OHBM2025 Keynote Speaker interview is with Dr. Lucina Q. Uddin! Dr. Uddin shared with us her journey into neuroscience, reflections on cognitive flexibility, and the value of community in science. Read the full conversation here 👇 🔗 www.ohbm-com.com/blog/a-conve...

⭐ Speaker Spotlight: Sharna Jamadar 🗓️ June 28 | 🕥 10:30 – 11:15 Excited to feature Sharna Jamadar at OHBM 2025. More information about Sharna in the comments. #OHBM2025

How do neurons know their final position in the brain? They use a combination of chemical signals & physical guidance by radial glia 🟡. My favorite cell type in the brain is also temporary! After cortical development, most will transform into astrocytes. Nuclei of cells in🔵 #SciArt #Microscopy

Humbled and honoured to serve on the Oberkotter Foundation Scientific Council for Childhood Hearing. It is timely for science to explain how and why children with hearing loss can succeed in the mainstream with listening and spoken language: www.prnewswire.com/news-release....

Sean was one of my best friends when we were both DPhil students at Jesus College in Oxford - www.ucdfoundation.ie/announcing-t...

A colleague has posted a personal perspective of being a scientist with hearing loss -- journals.lww.com/ear-hearing/...

The number of "emergency" meetings I've attended the past few days...

Having a difficult day, but I'm glad to have microscopy to inspire me and hopefully inspire others as well. 💔 The brain keeps being amazing. These are neurons in the neocortex #FluorescenceFriday 🔬
