1/7 First #preprint from my lab just posted! Team effort from the entire lab - think of it as our debut. New behavior to ask how hearing is integrated with free movement of the whole body. Mice surprisingly resilient to #hearingloss, in an unexpected way

How we move our bodies affects how we perceive sound. For instance, we can explore an environment to seek out the source of a sound and we can use head movements to compensate for hearing loss. How...

clarification on pt 2. Who you voted for is NEVER public. Other info (e.g., whether you're registered) may be public, depending on state. Regardless, politicians can use exit polls to determine which demographics tend to show up.

3/3) We can't take the right to vote for granted. Maybe it feels less valuable bc it seems like it will always be there, but the barriers to voting are increasing. The good news is that lots of people are working very hard to make sure we keep that right. They need us to show up!.

2/3) It's public record who votes. Politicians dig into that data. Next election, they're likely to develop their policies for the demographics who are likely voters, not for those who don't show up. For example, young people historically vote the least. Let's change that.

1/3) We're not just voting for pres, but also Congress, state house, local gov, & props. Congress determines how much the president can get done. Local gov directly affects your day-to-day rights. These races aren't polled very much, so they could be close in ANY state.

Our paper on sound-seeking and hearing loss has now been published at Sci Rep! Moving forward, we plan to use this behavioral platform to study neural circuits for healthy hearing and resilience to #hearingloss
