We published a paper on age related changes in inner ear and lateral line hair cells in zebrafish and killifish! 🎉 nature.com/articles/s4159…

ACOUSTICS TODAY Check out “Communicate Your Science- Engaging Public Audiences with Acoustics.” by Allison Coffin of @ScienceTalkOrg. doi.org/10.1121/AT.202… #WomenInAcoustics #WomensHistoryMonth

One of our undergraduate researchers, Leila, presented research on the impact estrogen has on hair cell density in adult zebrafish at the Murdock College Science Research Conference! 🥼🐟@MurdockTrust @allison_coffin @wsuv_research

Undergraduate researcher Leila (right) did a great job presenting her poster at the Murdock undergraduate science conference. @wsuv_research

🐟💊 A $1.8 million grant from the @NIH will help @WSUVancouver researchers determine if new drugs used to treat #COVID19 may be linked to hearing loss. news.wsu.edu/news/2023/08/3…

Received the final notice of award on my R01 today...and got my hair cell tattoo! Definitely a good day. @CoffinLab @wsuv_research #science #HearingLoss

Our new review paper about the importance of comparative and curiosity-driven research in the #auditory field. We learn more about #hearing when we study diverse animals. bit.ly/3mPSV9I @wsuv_research @CoffinLab @TamasenHayward

Congratulations @TamasenHayward! 🎉 @allison_coffin

Lab members Emily and Olivia presented excellent work at the @SfNtweets conference this year! Emily presented on the role of inflammation & oxidative stress in age-related hearing loss and Olivia presented on how Covid19 therapies may cause hearing loss. @allison_coffin

Noel, one of our undergrad lab technicians, presented research about hidden #hearingloss at the Murdock College Science Research Conference! 👏 Noel says she "had a wonderful time sharing the synaptopathy project and hearing about other research." @MurdockTrust @allison_coffin

I love this project by @CoffinLab PhD student @rikeemsholes. So important, and so honored that Rikeem joined our lab @wsuvancouver. 100 Books by Black Authors from Rikeem Sholes - Pat Tillman Foundation pattillmanfoundation.org/news-media/100…

Check out this neat video our lab manager @TamasenHayward took of 2-day-old zebrafish! They are moving around quite a bit here and will be hatching very soon! @allison_coffin

@neubadah @SfNtweets We have a few from our lab attending! Should be a great time!

So who else is going to @SfNtweets in San Diego this year? 👀 #sfn22

Come check out our beautiful campus! We have great programs and awesome labs, including us, of course! 💁🧑‍🔬

@MadS100tist Could be you've never had this problem! Sometimes during immuno labeling, the zfish stick to the tube, depending on the kind of tube. The sticky tubes seem to also prevent liquid from sloshing/moving during the immunolabeling.

Zebrafish researchers, tell us if you get this (written on a bag of our microtubes): "Good for fish - won't stick! WILL slosh!" 😁

Woah - very cool!
