"I feel like a real scientist right now, because I want to rip my own hair out." - Coffin lab technician Emily on dealing with a stubborn experiment. Allison Coffin, PhD

We have a few rock climbers in our lab, maybe we can make it next time! 🧗‍♂💪

Woah - very cool!

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

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

Check out this neat video our lab manager Tamasen Hayward took of 2-day-old zebrafish! They are moving around quite a bit here and will be hatching very soon! Allison Coffin, PhD

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

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." Murdock Trust Allison Coffin, PhD

Lab members Emily and Olivia presented excellent work at the Society for Neuroscience (SfN) 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, PhD

Congratulations Tamasen Hayward! 🎉 Allison Coffin, PhD
