Chapter 1 – Why do we feel dizzy when turning?
This comes from how the inner ear’s rotation sensors (the semi-circular canals) work mechanically. The short videos below (and the next one) explain why.
(And yes, that video is low-quality, but it's actually me on the chair 😅)

Banner for the Midwest Zebrafish Meeting on June 24-26, 2026. This is a group of adult zebrafish across a green and blue background.
Save the date! The organizers of the Midwest Zebrafish Meeting would like to personally invite you to attend their next gathering, which will be held June 24–26, 2026, at the Van Andel Institute in Grand Rapids, Michigan. Check out this thread for more details about the conference!👇 #zebrafish 🧪
Balance is the key!
Thank you Wendy!!
☺️ thanks!
Thrilled to share that I’ll be starting my lab at the Kresge Hearing Research Institute, Dept of Otolaryngology University of Michigan in May!
We study how the brain turns gravity signals into stable movement → zhulab.fish (yup, proudly a #zebrafish lab🐟)
If you're interested, get in touch! #newPI
Proud that this work was led by Jiahuan Liu during his master’s at NYU – now thriving as a PhD student at @uvabio.bsky.social 🙌
Excited to share this work where we found how fish swim differently to keep balance in the dark / explore more in the light.
Spoiler: ever wonder what they do during “little pauses” between swims? They are counting!
I benefited immensely from this amazing series last year (thank you Brisa, Lydia, and all the panelists). Can’t recommend it enough for anyone on the faculty job market!
Now on bioRxiv! Astrocytes in one brain region (cyan) communicate in expansive networks (magenta). Through tool development, tissue clearing, and many hours on our @zeiss-microscopy.bsky.social Z1, we now know these networks are repeatable across mice, plastic, and specific.
