We're still in awe of the amazing impact we had at this year’s Emerging Vision Scientists Program! With the largest cohort ever, we turned out in record numbers on Capitol Hill. We're grateful to every participant, mentor, and supporter who made this milestone program a success.

Honored to present my research at Capitol Hill as part of the #EmergingVisionScientist Program by @NAEVRAdvocacy for federal support of sight-saving research and sharing why it matters. #Seewhatmatters

[Prevent Blindness @PBA_savingsight]

@PBA_savingsight supports #SeeWhatMatters, a movement launched by @NAEVRAdvocacy, with the mission to defend the future of vision research in America.

Proposed NIH reforms could merge the @NatEyeInstitute into a broader neuroscience institute, putting vision research, funding, and progress toward preventing blindness at risk.
