Hi all, we got a grant for a cool project that will follow up of our paper published a few months ago (see below). We will explore how light acts as a morphogen to instruct PCP. If you are looking for a postdoc position and interested in this topic, please reach out!

I always liked PBS, now even more.

Happy birthday!! So happy for her, she can finally be who she really is without hiding. My very best wishes.

Grateful to the Canadian Institutes of Health Research for funding our project "Light as a Morphogen: Unraveling a Novel Planar Cell Polarity Pathway in Retinal Function
and Disease". M Housset in my lab will be driving this project with help from @macdonaldlab.bsky.social and others not on Bsky!

Milton is our cat who pretends to chase birds…

Good luck with the move Bryan. Emotional for sure, I totally get it. Sending you strength!

Cool - quick question. Among your forbrain population, did you get retinal neurons?

Grant application successful! More details to come, but I am very excited about this project!

They are obviously trying to hide something

Shane: so sorry you have to experience this. Sending you strength and resilience from up north.

Done! Thanks everyone who sponsored me!

It will be a hot one, but I’m ready! #moveforsight See you later!

On Sunday I will cycle 50 km to raise money to support research to prevent blindness. If you can, please sponsor me! fightingblindness.akaraisin.com/ui/MOVEFORSI...

What a game!!! #bringithome

Congrats on the new position Bryan!!

🤣 I got the exact same message a couple weeks ago. But in my case it was a little more credible as it pretended to be Université de Montréal. But the 16% increase was 😂

Every year I teach a few classes. It is a lot of work, but I choose to do it (I could only do research if I wanted) because I think it is important to convey my passion about research to the next generation. And once in a while I get comments like this that make it all worthwhile! 😊

Cool!! Je suis dans ton coin en ce moment mais de retour mercredi. Je vois avec la gang et on arrange quelque chose!!

Le @reseauvision.bsky.social est fier de soutenir le développement de cette initiative de livre à colorier pour enseigner les sciences de la vision aux jeunes et moins jeunes! Quel beau cadeau à faire!

Look at this fantastic project using art to teach kids (and adults!) about the visual system! The Vision Sciences Research Network @reseauvision.bsky.social is happy to support this outreach project led by Maria and Marion!

Happy Galgo!

Congrats!!!! 🍾

#JeudiRétro - Première pipette automatique utilisée à l'IRCM par André Turgeon en 1972, modèle Pipetman P1000 fabriqué par Gilson. En 1972, le docteur Warren Gilson introduisit une pipette de haute précision pouvant être réglée sur n’importe quel volume pour n’importe quelle décimale (réglage continu). Son originalité résidait dans le fait que, pour éviter toute erreur, le volume sélectionné était affiché sur la pipette (lecture directe). Aujourd'hui encore, la pipette Gilson reste une référence mondiale en termes d’exactitude, de fidélité et de fiabilité.

Oh my…Bryan! My most sincere condolences. What a lovely tribute you wrote for her. I am sending you strength and a big hug. May you find peace and healing. ❤️‍🩹

Hi, BlueSky. It's Hillary.

I've joined up here to help get the word out about an important election in Wisconsin tomorrow, and other ways to defend our democracy against those who think votes can be bought.

Now seems like a great time to share a starter pack I made when I joined BlueSky! Let me know if you'd like to be added: go.bsky.app/6aMSMpy

This kind of story coming out of the US makes me so sad and mad, both as a scientist and as the dad of a trans boy who once thought about taking his life because of these stigmas. We need data on this if we want to prevent suicide among LGBTQ+ folks!

So sorry you have to go through this and that this important study will not get done. I am cheering for you’all for across the border, keep up the work, we need you, our trans kids need you!
