Starting off #ARVO2024 a little annoyed that I couldn’t get into the first session I wanted to attend. Why are all the sessions in small rooms so popular? There wasn’t even any standing room. This makes me miss the virtual world.

Where would one find outstanding graduate students in vision science and ophthalmology who are defending next year (2024) and interested in ophthalmic imaging in clinical trials? Programs, schools, or labs I should look? 👇🏼

I need to get back on a microscope. I miss it. In the meantime, have a beautiful picture of photoreceptor outer segments (purple), cone inner segments (green), and bipolar cell bodies (also green). Wow, these cones look good!

In industry, you can be both an impactful scientist and a mentor if you want. I wanted both and I’m happy to say because of that, I had a very fulfilling summer.

The collapse of twitter has made it much harder to publicize Skype a Scientist.

I really underestimated how off-putting it would be to see the dumb X logo on my phone's home screen. I think he has finally convinced me to remove the app entirely.

New times but wondering if this is the place… I’ve flown over here hoping to find some clear air and blue skies. I’m sure I’ll see a retina or two in the sky.
