Our new work goes from genes to behavior to understand the molecular underpinnings of the most common childhood disorder of vision: strabismus. Led by UCSF-bound Emily Gershowitz & Kyla Hamling, plus rockstars @denagoldblatt.bsky.social & @paigel.bsky.social www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...

A graph of eye velocity versus time that establishes that fish with loss of function mutations in the phox2a gene can't move their eyes when tilted.

An image showing expression of a particular gene in the motor neurons that move the eyes. Black spots show where the gene is expressed, dotted lines outline the cranial motor nucleus nIV that contains motor neurons that move the eyes up

The top shows a schematic of a fish with motor neurons marked in green and a pipette used to suction motor neurons for later analysis. The bottom left shows white dots that mark each motor neuron; the bottom right shows no white dots to indicate the motor neurons had been selectively removed for later analysis.

Not going to lie I'm jealous every time I read an introduction to a scholarly paper that could just as easily open an enthralling miniseries....

I think the key here is this bit. Aviv has nothing to say about "fiction" that isn't in Awakenings or Hat and glosses over the fact that 3/4 of his books were after Hat. When she looks, she finds people generally happy with their portrayal. 1/2

I hope you're right. When you break it out by race there's one group that really doesn't look like it's changing at all.

Every time you point this out I think "oh maybe we're at least *trending* in the right direction?" I dug up the historical breakout and god damn it we are just not. Thank you for continuing to hammer the horror home.

You can't see his camera, but those eyes are skillfully framing the next shot. P.S. if any of you knows who this is I'd love to pass it on -- photo was in Bryant Park Sunday afternoon. #photography #nyc #blackandwhite
