Best fishes this Halloween 👻
Seeing some upsetting pics of downtown Chicago this evening 🙁
I was just there yesterday after college visits with my kiddo—crowds of people enjoying the beautiful weather in Millennium Park during the day and vibing on the waterfront at night ✨

Permanent hearing loss and tinnitus are frequent side effects of cisplatin chemotherapy 👂
Strategies to prevent hearing loss focus on protecting sensory hair cells from cisplatin induced death. ☠️
But are surviving hair cells really ok?
Spoiler- no, they’re not! 🤕

Ever wonder why lateral line neuromasts without mechanotransduction have fewer hair cells? 🧐
Curious about how larval fish swim in a tiny infinity pool without a functional lateral line? 🌊
Come to poster 36 and find out!

Good lab news!
Very proud of resident postdoc Prith Roychowdhury, who won a Michael Paparella Resident Research Award for his presentation at the WashU Med ENT 2025 Ogura Lectureship and Resident Research Day 😄🎉
His research uses zebrafish to model excitotoxic injury of auditory nerves 🐟👂

Huge thanks to Jon Perelmuter and the Bass Lab at Cornell for sharing Danionella dracula fish with us 🐟
Looking forward to launching some exciting new research with these little fishies & @socobod.bsky.social

Inverted image of developing posterior lateral line ganglion in a 6-day-old zebrafish - note the green cluster of proliferating progenitor cells on the ventral side of the ganglion 💚 🐟
