Congratulations #Roda and Anusha @AnushaShvshnkr on winning first and second place at the Stark Summer Science Symposium 2025. Great job #Keara, for presenting your summer work. @IUOphthalmology @IUStark_Neuro @IUgradschool
The new Disney Pixar movie Elio has the main character sporting an eye patch. This seems like a good time to spread the word about amblyopia, the treatment for it, and #NIHfunded research on brain-based causes of vision loss. brnw.ch/21wU0DC
“One of the biggest tragedies I've observed in my professional life.” @davidrliu, winner of the @brkthroughprize in Life Sciences and professor at the @broadinstitute and @Harvard, describes the cost of government cuts to science research at universities. @WalterIsaacson
Last night I was honored to receive the 2025 #BreakthroughPrize in the Life Sciences, reflecting the efforts of many students, collaborators, doctors, and patients in labs around the world. I hope this 4-minute excerpt can inspire when science needs public support more than ever.
Mark May 5 (11:30am MT) on your #ARVO2025 calendar for an insightful discussion on the science of rod-mediated dark adaptation for Age-Related #MacularDegeneration with Christine Curcio, PhD, FARVO and Cynthia Owsley PhD, MSPH, FARVO (@UABNews): bit.ly/2tqBu07 @ARVOinfo
Great @Nature news article about what is being done to slow, stop, or even reverse geographic atrophy (GA), the advanced form of #AMD. Contributions from @NatEyeInstitute’s @TiarnanKeenan and @Kapilbharti123 nature.com/articles/d4158…
Time for some celebrations. Yesterday we celebrated Anusha's @AnushaShvshnkr birthday in the lab. Anusha also received the news about the ARVO travel award to travel to Utah for the 2025 Annual Meeting. Thanks @ARVOinfo.
Who’s going to join me? I’ll be there advocating for continued funding to support our important work and funding to support the training of future scientists!
What does #NIH and #NIHfunding mean to the Universities and School of Medicines across the country and from the advancement of science and medicine.

I am thrilled to announce that Dr Gregory Rognon #Greg a Postdoctoral Fellow from my lab matched at William Beaumont for his Ophthalmology Residency.
Working with talented pool of postdocs and grad students is the best thing in academia. 2024 was good and productive. To a great 2025. @AnushaShvshnkr #MichelleSurma @AvinashSoundar1 #RodahinaPasteurin @Srimathi511 #GregRognon. Thanks for all the hardwork team.
