Using Fish to Study Hearing Loss w/Allison Coffin - Inside Industry with IREO
Allison Coffin is an Associate Professor of Neuroscience at WSU Vancouver. Trained as a fish biologist, Allison originally studied and researched how fish sense their surroundings and hear. Now, she uses fish at the Coffin Lab in Vancouver to understand how people hear. Unlike humans, fish can regenerate their hearing which Allison also studies. Allison is also the chair of Science Talk, a non-profit organization that engages and promotes science communication and outreach, networking, and holds an annual conference that features keynote science speakers, workshops on science communication, and opportunities for researchers to share their stories.
