On Tuesday at @arvoinfo.bsky.social 2025 in SLC, I will be moderating a glaucoma minosymposium discussing the bench to bedside pipeline. We have assembled a terrific group of speakers from academia, industry, regulatory agencies, and private foundations to discuss this often opaque process. Join us!

Gearing up for @arvoinfo.bsky.social 2025 in SLC: Ben Yao from the lab will be presenting his work examining monocyte infiltration and microglia activation following IOP elevation, and the effect of treating with GLP-1 receptor agonists. Come for the science, stay for the science 😊

Al Green Removed From House Chamber for Heckling Trump During Speech Republicans had the Texas Democrat, who introduced the first articles of impeachment against Trump in 2017, ejected after he shouted at the president and refused to sit down.

Role model. More heckling please

When Mitch McConnell has become the voice of reason in your party, you know the GOP is completely broken. Every other Republican senator voted to confirm RFK Jr., a dangerous anti-vaccine conspiracy theorist, as HHS Secretary. This is a dark day for public health.

Many of my US friends say that they are coping by not turning on the news. I understand it and don't blame them but I guess this is also how descent into authoritarianism works - most people, understandably, just concentrating on getting by in their lives and in their local community.
