Kelsey makes BEAUTIFUL figures and everyone interested in upping their science communication game should go listen to what she has to say.

#Learning to hear... non-sensory influences, such as reward, engagement, context, are cruicial. Find out more in our new article in JARO, together with Melissa Caras and many others. @LIN_Magdeburg ARO Springer Nature link.springer.com/article/10.100…

This looks like a fantastic program! To my eligible colleagues and friends- you should apply!

Couldn’t be more well deserved! Congratulations, Justin!

Just finished the first chapter of Ed Yong is not here’s book An Immense World and I am SO EXCITED to assign it as required reading for my Neurobiology of Extraordinary Senses course next Spring umdnacs UMD Biological Sciences! A fantastic read so far, perfect for my course, highly recommend!

Our lab is looking for a new lab manager/technician! Come join our group of happy, smart scientists and help us understand more about the neural circuits that help us learn to listen. Interested? Learn more here: caraslab.org/open-positions

The Yao Lab Rutgers Brain Health Institute Rutgers RWJMedSchool (Otolaryngology) website is officially online: yaolaboratory.com Check out the “Open Positions“ page if you are interested in joining the team. I am actively recruiting!

It’s #PostdocAppreciationWeek so it’s time to celebrate the amazing Matheus Macedo-Lima! Rigorous, creative, and generous to a fault, Matheus (Matt) is a scientific gem and the lab is so lucky to have him! Thanks, Matt!

It’s #PostdocAppreciationWeek so it’s the perfect time to welcome our newest postdoc to the Caras Lab- all the way from Brazil, the twitterless Jéssica Winne! So glad to have you, Jéssica, and can’t wait to explore the brain together!

Is it possible to gain the effects of training without years of practice? A new $2.3M NIH award will allow Melissa Caras (Melissa Caras) to examine connections between the brain’s auditory and orbitofrontal cortices to identify the neural basis of expertise. today.umd.edu/no-pain-some-g…

I’ve had an amazing 4yr experience in the Caras Lab, guided by consistent support and mentorship at every turn. Everyone in our lab is equally kind & fun to be around as they are talented. Consider joining the lab as a grad student at UMD 🐢🧠! ⬇️ x.com/caraslab/statu…

Excited to share our lab’s first preprint! ⁦⁦Hats off to first author ⁦⁦roseying.bsky.social⁩ for bringing this project to the finish line AND for receiving an F31 NRSA from NIDCD all in the same week! biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

The Caras Lab wants to hire a lab technician to work on our NIH funded project on the neural circuits that support auditory perception, plasticity, and learning! Ideal for someone looking to gain research experience before grad school. See caraslab.org for details!

Delighted that the lab’s latest preprint detailing a project led by the talented Matheus Macedo-Lima is now available! biorxiv.org/content/10.110… Check out a short audio summary of the work from Science Cast: sciencecast.org/casts/e3us1k4r…

Delighted to share our lab’s latest preprint, spearheaded by the talented roseying.bsky.social !

Thrilled that this work, led by the outstanding Matheus Macedo-Lima is finally out in Current Biology today! Check it out! cell.com/current-biolog…
