At @NatEyeInstitute, we have a new mission statement (first revision of our mission statement since 1968, when NEI was founded by Congress). It's shown here, and I want to elaborate on the key phrases & why we chose them... #Ophthalmology #Optometry #Vision #Research #Eyes 1/6

Upcoming panel at @AMIAinformatics Virtual Day: "Informatics-izing the NIH" Tues 10/26, 10:30am ET With @NLMdirector, Clem McDonald, Zhiyong Lu (@NLM_NIH); @AllofUsCEO (@AllofUsResearch); me (@NatEyeInstitute). There is growing @NIH leadership with #informatics background.

What will the future of vision research look like? Coming soon: @NatEyeInstitute Strategic Plan. #Vision research is important because blindness is one of the conditions that Americans fear most. Vision research is also important because it has enormous, broader impact... 1/3

If you are a biomedical informatics trainee interested in academics: consider applying. I helped run it with Lucila Ohno-Machado + @JAMIAEditor_Sue + @AMIAinformatics staff for 8 years (after @kbjohnsonmd founded & ran it for 10 years). It's fun, and you'll learn a ton... (1/2)

(1/4) Coming in November 2021: We will be releasing a new @NatEyeInstitute Strategic Plan (first since 2012) and an updated Mission Statement (first revision since NEI was founded by Congress & President Lyndon Johnson in 1968). It will describe our key priorities…

Interested in #neuroscience? Santiago Ramon y Cajal was a remarkable Spanish physician & scientist, who won the #NobelPrize in 1906 for descriptive work of the nervous system. Original Cajal drawings are being displayed at @NIH, on loan from @InstitutoCajal @CSIC. (1/2)

From my own work: International Classification of Retinopathy of Prematurity, 3rd Edition paper is published @AAOjournal. Will be a standard reference for clinicians & researchers. #ophthotwitter #medtwitter #neonatology Available free for 50 days: bit.ly/3dXFop0 1/5

From my own work (@AAOjournal): #artificialIntelligence to develop a quantitative scale for classifying retinopathy of prematurity. Potential benefits for care. Great team: @jpetercampbell (PI), @kalpathy1 @rvpchan @brownjamesm @SusanOstmo, Sang Jin Kim. bit.ly/3zCtmKP

NEI Director Dr. Chiang now has his very own Twitter account! Stay up to date on his vision research updates by following @NEIDirector.

Trainees: find good mentors. One of mine was Dick Masland. As a student, I was interested in neurosurgery and #NeuralNetworks. Working in Dick’s lab showed me some of the best #neuroscience is done in the visual system. @harvardbrainsci @HMSEye @SfNtweets @ARVOinfo Proctor Medal

I will be moving to a new Twitter account @NEIDirector soon, but just a shout-out to @aao_ophth for a statement calling for standards in ophthalmic imaging. @aaronylee @jpetercampbell @ThomasHwang3 nei.nih.gov/about/news-and…
