Just a couple of photos of Labony and Shaherah representing our lab at #ARVO25. It’s been a great meeting for both scientific discussion and catching up with friends.

I’m assuming this doesn’t belong to one of the vision scientists at ARVO. Maybe one of the ophthalmologists.

Three poster presentations from lab in the last week. Labony and Shaherah presented at the Purdue-HHS Research Symposium. Jonah presented his work at the Undergraduate Research Conference. See you at @arvoinfo.bsky.social in a few weeks when we’ll present some of this research.

Unable to march for science today, but I did give a lecture to group of undergraduates on eye diseases.

Four years ago today. Even the cat looks surprised by the news’s on the TV.

You know you left a legacy in your postdoc lab when you return to find perishable reagents with your initials on them still sitting in the cold room. #cantletgo

If you ever have to work remotely from Seattle, I highly recommend the Seattle Public Library.

Time to see how these 38yo legs hold up playing intramural soccer against a bunch of 19 & 20yo’s. Hopefully I won’t regret it.

When we delete Robo1/2 from the entire retina, we observed similar ectopic projections from additional AC subtypes. In summary, we propose that Slit-Robo regulation of dendrite stratification is important for ON- and OFF-pathway segregation within the retinal circuitry. 6/

Our results show that the dendrite stratifications of Gbx2+ ACs are controlled by Robo1/2 receptors. Gbx2 and Robo1/2 knockout retinas exhibit identical dendrite misprojections, where the stratifications in the ON-layers ectopically project to the OFF-layers in the retina. 5/
