Ceriani et al. (2025). A machine-learning-based approach to predict early hallmarks of progressive hearing loss. Hearing Research 464, 109328. doi.org/10.1016/j.he... @hearingshef.bsky.social

JWST just released a new image of the red planet! Just kidding, this is an image of the organ of Corti stained red that I've badly photoshopped 👩‍🚀 Have a great weekend all!

📝 We have a new paper out! Headed by Dr Federico Ceriani, this paper shows that machine-learning can be used to detect early signs of hearing loss, and can also predict the future progression of hearing loss in 6N and 6N-repaired mice! 🧪🦻 kwnsfk27.r.eu-west-1.awstrack.me/L0/https:%2F...

🧠 Are you a basic scientist with 12 minutes to spare? This is your final reminder to take our survey on public engagement. The survey is closing soon on 8 June. Make your voice heard! buff.ly/OB5LBP2 #BasicScience #OpenScience #LabLife #AcademicChatter #ScienceForAll

This week we’ve had Adam and Charlie presenting to the public at @pintofscience.uk in the Sheffield Tap! They talked about how we hear and shared some of their research, too 😊. #Pint25 #PublicEngagement

I couldn’t sign this quick enough. Please consider doing the same if you are at all concerned about what is happening to science in the US, and Elon Musk’s role in it, and believe that he is not fit for recognition as a Fellow of the Royal Society 🧪 🌎

We used cleanBib in our paper here: www.nature.com/articles/s41... (see the References section of our Methods) Instructions for cleanBib are here: github.com/dalejn/clean... - Definitely made me think harder about which papers I was citing!

From not being able to find people within auditory research to not being able to follow up on notifications. This is fantastic! So nice to see this community growing! Do not hesitate to contact me if you want want to be added to this list, particularly young/early career peeps. go.bsky.app/2V3D2mu

I made a systems neuroscience starter pack, focused on experimentalists who study the brain at the level of populations of neurons! Also want to be on the list? Reply or DM me a picture of your ephys rig or 2p setup and I'll add you 🤭 go.bsky.app/UiqX7ry

Neuropixels and Optogenetics are delighted to announce the birth of Neuropixels Opto Combining high-resolution electrophysiology and optogenetics Today in bioRxiv 960 sites, 28 emitters, 2 colors By Lakunina, @karolinazsocha.bsky.social, Ladd, et al www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1... (1/2)

Super excited that this paper is now “in print” in Scientific Reports: links.springernature.com/f/a/chqdN90F...

Do you know a UK-based wheelchair user who works in a lab and would be willing to user-test our prototype of what is believed to be the first-ever lab coat adapted for wheelchair users? Please share far & wide! Interest form: forms.office.com/e/66FhcQjqRT More info: www.ucl.ac.uk/ucl-east/new...

Happy #MicroscopyMonday !📷 Here we have a gorgeous image from an old Master's student, Laia Mas Marquez, showing inner hair cell stereocilia (green) with EPS8 (red) highlighting their tips. EPS8 is key in regulating stereocilia length and ensuring proper localization of other essential proteins.

We experience the world through a multitude of senses, and yet most studies of sensory perception focus on one sensory modality at a time. Our paper on how odors affect sound processing in now published in Journal of Neuroscience (1/5). www.jneurosci.org/content/44/4...
