A 10-year effort started by Ryan Morrie 10 years ago and finished by now-Dr. Josh Tworig (and others) is published in my fav @SfnJournals. Come for the great question, stay for the gorgeous data, leave knowing there is more to do (1/15) pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38514178/

Vision plays a key role in the developing human brain. 👀🧠

New nature study finds that a loss of sight led to major reorganization of brain cell types within the visual regions and across half of cortex.

Do people realize that the retina is actually brain tissue, a piece of the central nervous system in a peripheric location?

In the already confirmed olfactory path, #SARSCoV2 has to open some doors to reach the brain. The retina is a door open all the way.

Congrats to Labony Khandokar on winning best poster presentation from the Ocular Toxicology Speciality Section. SOT #SOT24 Purdue School of Health Sciences

We've got a difficult minibus moving through Congress that totally misses the mark on CHIPS and Science.

A good time for President Biden to use tonight's #SOTU to double down on science and innovation as core to U.S. prosperity - and follow it next week with a budget that does the same.

New lab photo from yesterday’s Purdue School of Health Sciences research retreat. Congrats to Labony on her poster award!

We’re excited to share our most recent paper where we adapted the IBEX technique to label every cell type in the retina. If you’re stuck with antibodies raised in the same animal or want to see more proteins/cells at the same time, this could help.
