SUMMARY:ARO Education Committee Coffee Hour | Establishing Your Lab as a New PI
DESCRIPTION:Join ARO and the Education Committee for a special coffee hour on the topic of "Establishing Your Lab as a New PI" \nDate: Wednesday\, September 10\, 2025\nTime: 12:00-1:00 PM Eastern\nMentor Panelists: Dr. Jinkyung Kim and Dr. Taha A. Jan \nAbout the Session:\nJoin us for the Education Committee’s Coffee Hour session on “Establishing Your Lab as a New PI”\, featuring Dr. Taha Jan (Vanderbilt University) and Dr. Jinkyung Kim (Washington University\, St. Louis). Starting your own lab as a new PI is challenging\, yet a rewarding and exciting opportunity to begin a scientific career as an independent investigator in academia. This session will explore the challenges of starting your own lab (particularly in the first six months)\, including promoting yourself within the institution to strategic planning for setting up the lab space\, negotiating and ordering equipment\, and\, most importantly\, hiring team members\, which contributes greatly to the success of a lab group. Our guest speakers will also discuss time management\, including distributing one’s time for teaching and research while maintaining a good work-life balance and productivity. \nCLICK here to learn more about the panelists \nCLICK here to RSVP!

SUMMARY:Cutting-Edge Techniques and Models: Applications in Hearing Research | Machine Learning Toolboxes for Hearing Research
DESCRIPTION:Join ARO and the Education Committee for a anothe session of “Cutting-Edge Techniques and Models: Applications in Hearing Research.” The goal of this initiative is to educate and assist emerging researchers in understanding the fundamentals of the latest research techniques\, enabling them to incorporate these methods into their projects and enhance their scientific endeavors. Additionally\, this program will be valuable for researchers who are already utilizing these techniques but may have troubleshooting questions. \nWe are excited to invite you to the second session: \nTitle: Machine Learning Toolboxes for Hearing Research \nMentor Panelists: Dr. Uri Manor and Dr. Artur Indzhykulian \nModerators: Afagh Farhadi and Tong Shan \nDate: Thursday\, July 10\, 2025 \nTime: 12:00 - 1:00 PM ET \nAbout the Session: \nJoin us for the second session of the Cutting-Edge Techniques & Models panel discussion: Machine Learning Toolboxes for Hearing Research\, featuring Dr. Uri Manor (UC San Diego) and Dr. Artur Indzhykulian (Harvard Medical School). This session will explore powerful open-source Machine Learning (ML) tools transforming hearing science—from deep-learning-based analysis tools to advanced image segmentation plugins for cochlear hair cells. Our speakers will share how these toolboxes accelerate data analysis\, enhance experimental precision\, and support translational breakthroughs in hearing diagnostics and therapies. This will be an interactive discussion—ideal for trainees and researchers looking to integrate ML toolbox workflows into their labs. \nhttps://us02web.zoom.us/meeting/register/q6L0hn-dT6S2nvtkurwsaQ \n

SUMMARY:International Symposium on Hearing (ISH) in Vienna
DESCRIPTION:ISH 2025 will take place from June 1 to June 6\, 2025\, in Vienna\, Austria. It will take place at Hotel Schloss Wilhelminenberg\, a former grand imperial retreat with a spectacular view over Vienna. Participants will be accommodated on site in order to create an intimate atmosphere and stimulate close exchange of ideas. \nThe topic of ISH2025 will be: Advances in Auditory Physiology\, Perception\, and Cognition. \nISH meetings have a long tradition of bringing together researchers from different areas of hearing science\, including psychophysics\, physiology\, and auditory modeling. The ISH2025 will be open also to the emerging field of auditory cognitive neuroscience. Consistent with previous format\, we invite innovative unpublished contributions from any of these areas. Contributions will be considered for either oral or poster presentation. Besides established researchers\, we also encourage contributions from younger researchers (e.g.\, late PhD phase) for whom a reduced registration fee will be offered by means of studentships. \nDecisions on contributions will be based on extended abstracts (400 words). The number of accepted contributions (podium presentations and posters) will be limited to approximately 80. Submit your abstract here: \nAuthors of accepted presentations will have the opportunity to submit an associated publication in an ISH2025 Special Issue\, which will be published in the peer-review open-access journal Trends in Hearing. Full papers can be submitted after the symposium. There will be a 50%-discount on publication fees (publication will be exclusively online). To avoid publication delays\, the manuscripts will be published on a rolling basis. \nImportant dates: \n\nAbstract deadline (FINAL): January 2\, 2024\nAcceptance decision and opening of registration: January 22\, 2025\nRegistration deadline: February 12\, 2025\n\nFor further information and updates\, see the ISH2025 website. \nThe ISH2025 Organization Committee: \n\nBernhard Laback\nPiotr Majdak\nRobert Baumgartner\nMartin Lindenbeck\nKatharina Kast\n\nInternational Steering Committee: \n\nMatthew Goupell\, University of Maryland\, Department of Hearing and Speech Sciences\nPhilip Joris\, KU Leuven\, Laboratory of Auditory Neurophysiology\nKatrin Krumbholz\, University of Nottingham\, Hearing Sciences\nVirginia Best\, Boston University\, Department of Speech\, Language & Hearing Sciences\nMaria Chait\, University College London\, Ear Institute\nSarah Verhulst\, Ghent University\, Hearing Technology Lab\nChristopher Brown\, University of Pittsburgh\, School of Health and Rehabilitation Science
