Day 1 at ESCRS congress in Copenhagen. Even as a research scientist, I’m thoroughly enjoying Cornea Day!

The coffee break pastries have also been absolutely outstanding

The “resurrected” dire wolves are corporate horseshit approaching Theranos levels of snake oil

Figure 1. Slit-scanning in vivo confocal microscopy images of the corneal endothelium: A) Healthy control cornea: Image of a normal corneal endothelium, showing a uniform hexagonal cell pattern with consistent cell density and no visible guttae or abnormalities (white solid arrowhead). B) FECD: Increased confluency of guttata, illustrating a more extensive presence of these structures. Both black and white images.

A large-scale study in JAMA Ophthalmology by Alice Davidson's lab uncovers demographic and sex factors behind genetic cause of age-related visual loss. Paving the way for more personalised treatments for FECD, moving beyond cornea transplants to gene therapies.

De novo and inherited dominant variants in U4 and U6 snRNAs cause retinitis pigmentosa The U4 small nuclear RNA (snRNA) forms a duplex with the U6 snRNA and, together with U5 and ∼30 proteins, is part of the U4/U6.U5 tri-snRNP complex, located at the core of the major spliceosome. Recen...

Check out this v interesting preprint. RNU variants associated with RP. Components of spliceosome are fascinating

The institute has a new mascot that reaaaaally wants to join in at lab meeting.

His name is Georgiana and he is Chonk

It’s been terrible for ages. But, tbh, I haven’t liked them in at least 15+ years. Will still demolish some chocolate timbits though…

I foolishly signed up for a race with some of my lab colleagues in January. So now I’m obligated to put in a good show. Trying out the Runna app this time. I have to say though, a happy playlist and a gorgeous sunrise really does make it easier.

I should probably start making posts here, eh?
