How is the ON and OFF pathway split in the visual system? 🤔 The textbook standard, that bipolar cells are separated simply by the glutamate receptors they express, might be due for an update....a short 🧵

We received the sad news that my emeritus colleague Peter Detwiler passed away at his home in Prague last week. nbio.uw.edu/people/entry... Peter was an amazing scientist, builder, and artist, who was always very modest about his accomplishments. And he was very kind. A quick example...

Understanding the retina is crucial for decoding how visual information is processed. However, decades of data and models remain scattered across labs and approaches. We introduce openretina to unify retinal system identification. (2/9)

A sampling of the great sings I saw at #StandUpForScience @standupforscience.bsky.social Chicago today. Thanks to all the organizers and participants.

Sign that reads "trans rights are just good science."

Sign that reads "diversity is not a dirty word"

Sign in support of vision science research

Sign making fun of Elon Musk for bragging about Ozempic being funded by science and likely using it.

A crowd of people demonstrating outside in front of the Lincoln Memorial on a clear, sunny day. Some of the signs read “Science over Stupidity,” “Science Makes America Great,” and “Team Public Health, Not Team Measles.”

The retina provides pretty pictures even when antibodies misbehave. I'm calling this one "bipolars in a starry sky".

And not because the retina is particularly simple: It consists of at least 100 cell types and uses just about every neurotransmitter known to man. Interesting questions: What made this progress possible and how can we extend the lessons to other parts of the brain?
