Merry Christmas from the Translational Ear Physiology Team.
Merry Christmas from the Translational Ear Physiology Team! I wanted to share a short end-of-year message and to thank you for your support throughout 2025.
This year has been busy, but in a good way. We celebrated a major milestone with a PhD student completing their degree, welcomed new Master’s students into the lab, and towards the end of the year we were joined by summer students who brought great energy and curiosity. Behind the scenes, our research has continued to progress steadily, including encouraging data coming through from our sheep experiments. Everyone has worked incredibly hard, and it has been a genuinely productive year.We were also active beyond the lab, with community engagement work that helps connect our research to the wider world and keeps us grounded in the people and communities we aim to serve.
What I am most proud of, though, is our team culture. The group has been working together beautifully, and I’ve really appreciated the peer support that has grown stronger across the year. That day-to-day encouragement makes a big difference, especially in a research environment where progress comes from persistence and teamwork.
Thank you again to the team and everyone who supported us throughout 2025! I hope you have an awesome Christmas and New Year. I’m looking forward to working with everyone in 2026, another exciting year ahead. Wishing you a safe, restful break and a great start to the new year!
