From 10 years ago as a grad student with @robertmarc.bsky.social to my last day at the U of Utah today. It’s surreal to look out over the valley one last time. On to the next adventure!

To compound stress from *gestures at everything* the pipes in my building now intermittently sound like a hammerdrill that can only be stopped by fiddling with hot water faucets (I know this from wandering the floor messing with faucets).

I'm becoming increasingly convinced that the point of Universities implementing Concur is to annoy people into never actually traveling or using a PCard.

It's rare that I do much fluorescence, but I actually have something for #FluorescenceFriday this week! Rabbit retina stained for rod bipolar cells and a type of gap junction.

New manuscript out of the lab!
Retinal Connectomics: A Review by @csigulinsky.bsky.social @beccapfeiffer.bsky.social and myself.
This should be a complete and inclusive summary of the state of retinal connectomics in the literature.

Congrats Bryan!!
Am tickled to reveal I've been awarded an @RPB_org RPB Stein Innovation Award to explore neural plasticity to a hibernation model that promises to teach us about how retinas degenerate, and possibly how to recover lost vision.
