Day 2 #Visionarium2025 @teuler.bsky.social talks about What is a cell type?

We had an amazing @GGIPstudents symposium with keynote @quinascience.bsky.social and @ucdavisvetmed.bsky.social associate dean of research and graduate education Danika Bannasch.

Gave a talk @ucdavisvetmed.bsky.social and one of my former @ucibiosci.bsky.social students was there! I love seeing my students continue in their education. Highlight of my day.

Aaron is an expert on immigration policy and issues Take this seriously

Super excited to contribute to this wonderful work from the Yiu lab @ucd_eyecenter and @CNPRCresearch looking at how systemic lipids and glucose affect drusen progression in a 🐒 model. doi.org/10.1167/iovs...

@ucdavis.bsky.social had a great representation at the BAVRD!

Super proud of Drs. Handel, Lim, and Ripolles-Garcia and Ms. Khan for representing COVSL at the Bay Area Vision Research Day! #visionscience

Super proud of the great research these two STARs - Jillyan and Jennifer - did @ucdavis.bsky.social. This amazing program giving DVMs a summer research experience was partially funded by NIH but sadly no longer. #science #visionscience @altnih4science.bsky.social

My @i2sysbio.es colleagues, led by Javier Buceta @javierbuceta.bsky.social, published a paper in Nature Communications! They used a multidisciplinary approach to show that E. coli filaments undergo a growth-induced buckling instability. Congratulations! www.nature.com/articles/s41... 🧪🧬🧫🦠🖥 #microsky

We are looking for a 3-year postdoc to work with Daniel Probst, Justin van der Hooft and myself on an exciting project involving federated learning and integrative omics for discovery of new antibiotics from natural products. Apply here: www.wur.nl/en/vacancy/p... Please share!

not just CDC...

How are you acquiring topical ophthalmic ripasudil for clinical trials? My sources in Japan are no longer shipping to the US due to tariffs. I have an ongoing preclinical trial in dogs and need to find it. studypages.com/s/investigat... #visionscience

First-year ophthalmology resident, Dr. George Thelwell, rocked his first surgery on 🍒 🍅! We use fruit surgical simulants for our initial microsurgical training sessions. #visionscience

🐒 research matters and we should be doing more of it. National primate research centers are chronically underfunded and it is incredibly limiting for the scientists conducting research at them. www.wsj.com/opinion/the-...

Dogs get a similar condition to recurrent corneal erosions - we retrospectively review risk factors and treatment success rates for these spontaneous chronic corneal epithelial defects (SCCEDs) @ucdavisvetmed. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...

It would be amazing if members of the veterinary community could also re-post this! @drheatherferg.bsky.social @sarathomasy.bsky.social @alegione.bsky.social @alibat.bsky.social @viroepivet.bsky.social @langevineqn.bsky.social @allvetsareoff.bsky.social @jocelynpoissant.bsky.social

#StargardtDisease is an inherited retinal disorder leading to progressive vision loss with no current treatment. New in @arvoiovs.bsky.social, read how FPF imaging could be a non-invasive biomarker for detecting early metabolic changes before evident structural damage. bit.ly/4ljvMov #VisionResearch

Congrats to @GGIPstudents and COVSL member Dr. Erin Hisey and her mentor @bcleonard on completing her exit seminar for her PhD! The future is super bright for her as she returns to complete her DVM @ucdavisvetmed.🍾🎉🎈#visionscience

Marie Burns delivers a fantastic talk on the role of microglia and monocytes in retinal degeneration @ucdavis.bsky.social. An amazing way to start the day with #visionscience.

My lab’s major NIH grant was among those blocked in the attack on UCLA. Because our lab website discusses inclusivity? Because this grant had a diversity-based supplement? Simply because I work at UCLA? Who knows. Feeling a strange mix of unsurprised, furious, and numb.

Glacier NP was spectacular - #43 for Char and #31 for Sierra. #workLifeBalance

Hello University of Iowa vision research/science peeps!

You could be the next recipient of an @arvoinfo.bsky.social Foundation recognition award, #research grant or fellowship! Explore the opportunities available for eye and #vision researchers/clinicians in every career stage. Applications/nominations open Aug. 1. bit.ly/2KbaOtL

I can plug vision scientists who want to work in Australia into an amazing research effort there out of Sydney. Lemme know and perhaps we can help make something spectacular happen there.

Beat the May 31 deadline! Apply today for an @arvoinfo.bsky.social Foundation EyeFind Research Grant. You could receive up to $5000 in funding, supported by @brightfocus.bsky.social, for human eye tissue samples from eye banks to use in research projects. Submit now: bit.ly/2pl548Q #VisionResearch

👨‍🔬 Enric Pérez (@enricpparets.bsky.social) presented his amazing work "Advanced #imaging for visualizing the functional circuitry of #retinas in visual disorders therapies" at #ARVO2025 🔬👁️

Birds have a membrane on their eye ("nictitating membrane") that acts like a third eyelid, helping protect their eye and keep it clear while allowing them to see. Sometimes you can catch it in photos-- it makes the eye look milky. See the membrane in this photo (versus the previous one)? 🪶

ARVO 2025 #ARVO2025 bryanwjones.com/2025/05/arvo...

So proud of Raneesh - one step closer to Dr. Dr. Ramarapu!

Congratulations to Raneesh Ramarapu on passing his qualifying exam! He is our newest PhD candidate and is co-mentored by the awesome @sarathomasy.bsky.social and me! He passed with flying colors! 🤩🎉

Congratulations to the 16 winners of the @arvoinfo.bsky.social MIT Outstanding Poster Award Competition held during #ARVO2025. These MIT First Authors were selected from the top-five scored poster abstracts from each Scientific Section and Cross-sectional Group. bit.ly/3RUIMVl #VisionResearch

I missed the National Eye Institute from #ARVO2025. It was weird - though understandable, given the current US governmental crackdown on research. THAT is much weirder.

Spending the weekend frantically catching up on everything after #ARVO2025, but still thinking about all of the science - and grateful for the time with friends, colleagues, and mentors from around the world

It was a wonderful #ARVO2025 - a few of my favorite memories! I am so proud of the exceptional job our COVSL trainees did presenting their work. @bcleonard #visionscience

Check out the corneal immune populations in a🐁 model of evaporative dry eye disease by @ucdavisvetmed comparative #Ophthalmology resident Dr. Erinn Mills and her mentor @bcleonard. @arvoinfo.bsky.social

Productive day for us @arvoinfo.bsky.social - our CEO @avrilbdaly.bsky.social presented her work on #GA and Dr @nabinpaudel.bsky.social will present on Tuesday. At ARVO? Come find us to chat more about our work: ℹ️ www.linkedin.com/posts/retina... #ARVO2025 #ARVO #EyeResearch #Ophthalmology

Dr. Ana Ripolles-Garcia is presenting some gorgeous work on normative FPF data in 🐒. #ARVO2025 #glaucoma

Poster sessions now from @bcleonard on a murine dry eye model and @ucdavisvetmed ophthalmology resident Brett Story on gene therapy in a sheep model of Tay-Sachs disease. @ARVOinfo #ARVO2025

Come hear a great presentation from UCDavis DVM-PhD student Raneesh Ramarapu on the role of tubulins in corneal development at 10 in Ballroom C! @rogerslabucd.bsky.social @ARVOinfo #ARVO2025
