Who needs a swim bladder when your new home has all of this coral to perch on!

Congratulations!

Welcome to the club! Our motto is the only way you dear funding organization will not see this application again is to fund it….in the case of HHMI, see you next call!

Hot off the press. We observed elevated levels of G-CSF in AMD human donor RPE-Choroid tissue and identified c-reactive protein as an AMD associated stressor responsible for increased G-CSF levels. @choroidlab.bsky.social @adnankhan.bsky.social @stemcellseh.bsky.social.

Just got home from visiting with my good friend and collaborator Jens Kiilgaard in Copenhagen DK, and what should be waiting for me at my local record store…Linkin Park’s #EmilyArmstrong is incredible! Can’t imagine a better lead following the loss of Chester. Plus, pressed on translucent blue wax!

IBV is now one in person and two zoom meetings per year, which I believe is the new push for all sections. IMO, there is little to no waste in the scientific review and program offices, and staff are stretched to their limit. Cuts would seriously harm the review/grants administration process.

Growing up in Newfoundland, there were many interesting dialects. For instance, my mom’s entire family would drop and add the letter H resulting in sentences like “did you play hice ockey today?”. I recently told her about X, to which she replied, “whats hex?”. I said, it’s what Elon did to twitter!

Two masks on my plane to Copenhagen, DK……unfortunately, they are both on me, n95 under the beard mask (which I wear because the n95 cuts into my beard and makes me look like Davy Jones from Pirates of the Caribbean).

Beautiful study Seth, the IHC is incredible! Well done as always!

Watching Crystal Palace vs. Tottenham and your 160lb Newfie decides he is a lap dog.

As close to first class as the tail section gets!

Done!

Congratulations, that is awesome news!

Controlled experiment finds no detectable citation bump from Twitter promotion Multiple studies across a variety of scientific disciplines have shown that the number of times that a paper is shared on Twitter (now called X) is correlated with the number of citations that paper r...

Me too….I blame daylight savings…….makes it less my fault.

Beautiful image!

What concerns me about far-right politics is its meanness and lack of empathy.

This is the same behavior seen in the Holocaust, the Cambodian genocide, Russian genocides, Rwanda, Darfur, American West of Native Peoples, etc...

It's the same selfishness/nationalism/intolerance.

Thanks for doing that Jason! Sorry I will not be there, and for leaving you in the lurch once again. Dang viruses.

KEF LS50, great speakers but a little hard to drive at 2-4ohms and 83dB sensitivity. Makes for a real nice cat seat, their black gloss finish is always full of paw prints!

The NEIs Kail Bharti delivering a scientific talk on treating AMD.

Great talk by Kapil Bharti at #RD2023 on metformin treatment for AMD and AMD like diseases.

If we learned nothing else from the pandemic it should have been that going to work while virally ill is bad. You might be able to ‘battle through’ but those you infect might not be so lucky. Sick days are not lazy nor a luxury, they are necessary for public health.

Let's campaign to make .gifs and other movies available here before we all move somewhere else...

"Addiction to journal brand and Impact Factor has led us to conflate quality, impact, and trust in research. We now have the opportunity to adopt a new approach with better trust signals, in which judgments of an article’s merits are not made at a single point in time"
