Auditory hair cells rely on K influx to activate which is driven by a K rich endolymph. FW fish live in K poor water. Then how do lateral line hair cells of FW fishes activate?? Check out our preprint for a novel mechanism mediating MET! @LabLiao @StrotherLab @Whitney_Lab

I am super excited to work with the Ryan Lab, Martindale Lab, and Allen Institute on this project! If you're looking for a post-doc position and want to join the team, don't hesitate to reach out. @WhitneyLab @UFBiology
Replying to @AllenInstitute
Where did modern nervous systems come from? Allen Distinguished Investigators Joseph Ryan, Mark Martindale, and @StrotherLab, are leading a project at @Whitney_Lab to better understand the nervous systems of ctenophores. #FrontierScience alleninstitute.org/what-we-d… 🧵4

Honored to have shared the stage with @SICB_DNNSB's best presenters at @SICB_ and overjoyed to have won the BSP Award! For those that missed it and want to see cool research challenging longstanding assumptions of hair cell sensory biology, I'm uploading my talk to SICB !

Visiting the Kennedy Space Center, and was passed on the street by a Falcon 9 rocket. Looks just like a contraption by Wile E Coyote.

A new microscope technique shows cells’ fine structure in new detail. The method, developed by Eric Betzig, Harald Hess colleagues, combines 3D super-resolution fluorescence microscopy and electron microscopy in whole cells. Published today in Science! bit.ly/2uWFOIz

Excited to unpack and setup our multiphoton scope after move to UF Whitney Lab! Thankfully, it looks like it made the 3000 mile trip with no issues.

Until now, the best views of living embryos came from fish and flies. A team of scientists from the Keller lab are giving researchers a high-res view of early organ development inside a mouse embryo. bit.ly/2RGaPaB
