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.
I love doing this❤️❤️❤️

🇪🇨 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 👇 i.mtr.cool/clmxszxpbc

Picture time 👨‍🎓It’s truly a privilege to have Sandra as my mentor throughout my time at Scripps. Thank you for the continuous support and I can’t wait to collaborate on more exciting science! 🥳
Congratulations to Tai Chaiamarit @BioTai1 who graduated yesterday with 2 degrees! from @scrippsresearch and Oxford University, and now has started his own independent lab as faculty at Mahidol University. Brilliancy all around, congratulations Tai, so proud of you!

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! sci.news/biology/cell-free-m… And the original paper: faseb.onlinelibrary.wiley.co…

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.
