Visual and circadian neuroscientist. Research technical advisor at a Gov funding agency. Previously: K99/R00, postdoc @SamerHattar, PhD with Alexander Sher.
Interested in computation, cryoEM/ET, image analysis? 🔬 ❄️ How about working in a tenure-track position at a cutting-edge institution just outside one of the most livable cities? 🌃 🎡 🎻 Come join us at ISTA!
I've been seeing a lot of talk about mentoring on here lately so I wanted to give my comments. Also, because being selected for the Outstanding Postdoc Mentor Award gave me a lil' boost of confidence to discuss my viewpoint at this point in my life. So- a 🧵
Some great news to end this year! The Fernandez Lab will open its door soon @CincyChildrens! We are broadly interested in understanding how the body and brain encode environmental stimuli, such as daily changes in light, to timely coordinate physiology and behavior (1/4)
1/5 A new imaging platform for retinal studies! Excited to share this work in @GregDField lab at @DukeNeuro https://t.co/KBhUWis2Tv. Thanks to Alexander Sher @UCSC_SCIPP, Yiyang Gong @DukeEngineering
Our article on motion sensing properties of bipolar cells in the retina is out in @NatureComms
First authors @mkorympidou and Sarah Strauss!
My first article as ✨senior author✨!
It's been an intellectual journey since the preprint stage, see 🧵!

If you are looking for a supportive PI in your next phase of research, check out Juan’s lab. He has acted as a mentor to me throughout my time as a postdoc at the NIH. Can confirm he is one of the best out there!
Only announced it during conferences, but I am super excited to start my lab in January 2023 in the excellent @UMDBiology, and as part of the @bbiumd. The lab will continue working on retinal development and visual processing in #zebrafish. Come join us! Hiring at all levels.
Come check out a fantastic set of Neuroscience talks tomorrow (9am PST)!! I will be presenting an overview of my work along with the awesome @AnnaIntegrated @EliseSavier Rose Hill, moderated by the wonderful Mohini Sengupta and Julie Elie. There's still time to register.
Check out Harris’s (@ZeZhangSleep) fun 1 minute video, produced with a science communications style to explain our recent nature communications work. Great acting from incoming Rockefeller PhD student @martinathurman
https://t.co/WGE0JTwRey via @YouTube Please take a look at our Nature Awards-Science in Shorts video about how nighttime light affects sleep. I would like to thank @SamerHattar@martinathurman@CorinneBeier@TenleyWeil for making it materialized!
The retina processes visual information via ON and OFF pathways. We know that the ON pathway–from rodents to primates–is remarkably dispensable for image-forming vision. Humans with ON pathway mutations (known as CS night blindness) often don’t realize they have vision deficits!
