For me, this signals the start of fun science at #ARVO ❤️

Damn it. NIH ends continuous submission policy for reviewers on study sections. Can still use 2 week late submission deadline but continuous submission was one of the only good things about being on regular study sections. Reviews are a huge amount of work. It will be harder to get reviewers. BAD

Looking through old photos and found this beauty. Frog rods, labelled with GFP under a XOP promoter (inner segment, orange) and wheat germ agglutinin (outer segments, cyan). I love how you can see the holes where the mitochondria are packed near the top of the inner segment (the ellipsoid zone). 🧪🐸

Love eyes? Love awesome science? Love fantastic colleagues? Join us in Maine on August 9-14 for the GRC Visual System Development Conference! It's one of the best!

I am very excited to share the first Accorsi lab publication: a collection of detailed protocols to maintain an apple snail 🐌 colony and generate stable mutant lines. The video is coming soon @ JoVE! We hope this will be a valuable resource for the community. app.jove.com/t/69267/the-...

I'm excited to share our PNAS paper from 1st author Kasia Hussey. We study how the foveola, the high acuity region of the retina, is patterned by RA and TH. We were surprised to find that cone subtypes appear to convert fates. Our studies are important for AMD sufferers. www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/...

Birds have a thick retina devoid of blood vessels - so how do they ensure sufficient oxygen availability? They don't - neurons rely on glycolysis, metabolizing glucose released from the pecten. Insane new study that includes comparative data on lizards and crocs.🧪 www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Oxygen-free metabolism in the bird inner retina supported by the pecten - NatureWhile the photoreceptor outer segments in the bird outer retina have access to oxygen, the inner retina operates under chronic anoxia, supported by anaerobic glycolysis in the retinal neurons.www.nature.com
