We hosted Prof Walter Marcotti's amazing seminar yesterday Sheffield Hearing Group! Big congrats to Dr Francesca De Faveri and Dr Federico Ceriani for their fantastic project. Really inspiring work!🔬🤩

Not the usual start to the week, but a welcome one 😁. We’ve just finished another one of our joint meetings - this time hosted by King's College London, and joined by SussexNeuro University of Leicester Biomedical Research, plus Dr Emma Kenyon from Swansea University. Always a great time, and we’re excited to host next!

I will stop spamming your feeds, soon, I promise. I just wanted to mention that this cochlear hair cell 🔬👂 (4 in tall) is looking for a home. #biology #art

Lots of us spend hours in online meetings. 💻

1 in 8 employees in the UK are deaf or have hearing loss, so we've looked at three popular video conferencing apps to show you how to make meetings as accessible as possible: bit.ly/3lmvKj4

At #pint24 last night, Sheffield Hearing Group showed the impact of #hearingloss with an activity simulating types of noise-induced or age-related hearing loss

Following on from #DeafAwarenessWeek , here’s a great article, written by Liam O'Dell in 2022, that highlights some of the key issues with how society treats Deaf people.

It’s a quick read, but there’s certainly a lot to gain from it.

Deafness and hearing loss affect roughly 11 million people in the UK alone. Meet some of our researchers working on understanding the auditory system and developing therapeutic interventions for hearing loss. #DeafAwarenessWeek #DeafAwarenessWeek 2024 sheffield.ac.uk/neuroscience-i…

Today's paper spotlight comes from Alberto Diana just last month. Fish haven't had much love on this profile, but they're a great hearing loss model. This paper finds a protein related to hearing loss in humans in the zebrafish 'water sensing' organ! ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/P…

Congratulations to our award-winning ECRs and thank you to all those who took part in our first ECR symposium. sheffield.ac.uk/neuroscience-i…

Some members from our group recently attended the neuroscience institute (Neuroscience Institute) symposium for early career researchers, in part arranged by our very own Dr Ginny! Truly a brilliant day of science, and a nice change of pace from slightly more formal presentations!

Been a little while since we’ve done birthdays post 🎂, but we recently managed to celebrate the birthdays of Alice, Ginny, and Andrea (pictured), who tragically wasn’t even able to make it to his own celebrations! 😭
