❌ Myth: Posting a preprint leads to my work being scooped. ✅️ Truth: Preprints establish your priority with a timestamped, citable record, reducing the risk of scooping by proving you were the first to share your findings.

The Amamoto Lab at Massachusetts Eye and Ear, in the heart of Boston, is hiring a lab technician! If you recently graduated (or are about to) with your Bachelor's degree and are interested in retinal degeneration or development, please reach out! Our website: www.amamotolab.com

I'm excited to share our PNAS paper from 1st author Kasia Hussey. We study how the foveola, the high acuity region of the retina, is patterned by RA and TH. We were surprised to find that cone subtypes appear to convert fates. Our studies are important for AMD sufferers. www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/...
