Very thought provoking perspective!

AI generated images have come a long way, but not all approaches are equal. Which do you think is better here, ChatGPT or Grok? Same prompt and original photo for both. Very different outcomes 🤣 Happy birthday to my Dad Robert Sekuler - glad he’s looking better at 86 than any AI generated image!

Congratulations to the 2025 FoVea Travel and Networking Awardees.

Well, the weather outside is frightful. But the volunteers at the voting station were delightful. Get out there and vote Ontario! #Ontario #vote #Ontariovotes

Anyone voting in Westdale bring your voter location card and ID and go up the ramp to the right of the very long line. It was 20 minutes before I found that out, but at least it’s not too cold! And great to see such good turn out. Democracy is alive and well in Canada! #OntarioVotes

Was a bad year for several folks in my family healthwise last year, so especially grateful to have been able to celebrate my youngest’s 23rd birthday yesterday. Thank you Chotto Matte for an amazing dinner. Too many pics to share, so here’s just a few. Happy birthday Kiddo! Here’s to many many more!

Terrific kick off to #IDWGS with our @tahsnetwork.bsky.social session featuring Sheena Josselyn as the opening keynote. Endel Tulving and Taylor Swift highlighted in one amazing talk (the Memory Eras Tour). Was a thrill for me to co-moderate the later panel discussion on women in health science

Due to funding uncertainties, we are extending our deadline for the Fovea Travel and Networking Award to March 1st, 2025. foveavision.org/awards/accep...

Great demonstration of additive colour mixing - should be used in all intro perception classes. And then have students create their own versions to really drive it home. #VisionScience #Neuroscience @bjbalas.bsky.social
