I'm a photoreceptor-ologist working at the University of Iowa. I research the mechanisms of vision loss, teach Biochemistry, and get to help direct a Neuroscience graduate program. I am always a devoted servant to a sweet and silly Toyger.

RFK Jr. is very loud and very WRONG about Autism.
1. It’s not a disease
2. There are thousands of people with Autism Spectrum Disorder who pay taxes, have jobs, can use the bathroom on their own, and are thriving in life.
