Toured @UPMC Mercy’s Vision Institute with @NIHDirector_Jay—where researchers are using VR to replicate real-life environments and AI to refine treatments for vision disorders. The science is remarkable. The goal: restoring sight and making sure patients can apply it in their daily lives at home. This is exactly what NIH funding makes possible—and why every dollar invested matters.

Brain-wide neuron tracing reveals that the mysterious mouse claustrum is highly connected to the rest of the brain. In this extreme example, several neurons wrap their axons entirely around the cortex, forming a crown-like structure. 👑 More: alleninstitute.org/news/scishots-… #SciShots

@IPalazzo7 Congratulations!

We show inhibition of NFkB signaling promotes neuron regeneration from Ascl1-overexpressing Müller glia by alleviating reactive and pro-glial networks after damage.

Our latest pre-print is out! We find NFkB signaling suppresses neurogenic reprogramming of Müller glia. Shout out to our great collaborators @Levi_J_Todd @ThanhHoang_ @ThomasReh4 @SethBlackshaw biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

@EyeDaisyShu @_BrightFocus @PreetiSub Glad to have you with us.

Tuning in virtually to the @_BrightFocus Macular Fast Track this morning with @PreetiSub So excited to be attending my first #RD2021

@MGrunin5 Great questions today!

Excited to be attending RD2021! First hybrid conference that I'm attending in person since the global pandemic started. #RD2021

@EyeDaisyShu @_BrightFocus @PreetiSub Glad to have you with us Daisy!

@TMichaelRedmon1 @BWJones Wisdom!

@BWJones If you don’t feed the cat, you end up feeding the mice!

RD2021- An exciting scientific program covering many aspects of retinal degeneration science is being organized for the meeting. The program will include poster and platform presentations and four Keynote Lectures. See our webpage for more information: rdmeeting.net

@mattcampbelltcd Works in Florida too!

#ufgrad Congratulations to Casey Keuthan.

Zhaoyi Chen. New PhD in Epidemiology! #UFgrad

Emily Brown PhD. Another fantastic grad from the Ash Lab. #UFGrad

@SamerHattar @NIH I could not agree more!

Being on the inside of @NIH, it is shocking how efficient and nice federal workers are. They are maligned for no reason. Just a political ploy to make people hate federal employees. It is so sad...

#UFgrad Congratulations Lei.
