This is as good a time/way as any to spread the word: I have *multiple* positions open to study cochlear hair cells in my lab! We have all the toys you'd ever want for these studies and an amazing group of computational, cell biology, and hearing experts all working together.

🇪🇨 Piero Hincapié brilló en el triunfo 3-1 de Ecuador ante Jamaica, siendo clave tanto en defensa como en ataque. Su remate desde la izquierda abrió el marcador y fue celebrado por todos los ecuatorianos como su gol. ¡Vamos, Tri! #CopaAmérica #Ecuador 👇

One of the craziest things I learned last week at #AAI2024 was that we have more free-floating extracellular mitochondria in our blood than white blood cells. This was not in any textbook that I ever read!

Astrophysicist and Nobel laureate Subrahmanyan Chandrasekhar used to travel 80 kilometers every week from the Yerkes Observatory to the University of Chicago, where he taught a course attended by only two students. When asked why he spent his time this way, the professor replied that they were very good students.
In 1957, Lee Tsung-Dao and Yang Chen-Ning were awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics. The course taught by Subrahmanyan Chandrasekhar became the only course in history where all its attendees received a Nobel Prize.
