Photocontrol of ion channels and receptors for treating blindness and understanding the brain. Opinions are my own.

Vision loss in retinitis pigmentosa (RP) is not just about death of rods & cones--it also involves hyperactivity of downstream neurons, triggered by retinoic acid (RA).
Hence RA inhibitors can revive vision in RP mice. Now online in Science Advances🧵1/15 https://t.co/hDvMCOom5Y

@michelletandler I’m so disappointed in you. From a questioning liberal to a close minded MAGA in just a few years. Why read anything that challenges your beliefs. And worse yet, you want others to follow your example. Shame on you.

[Rich Kramer @RichKramerLab]

@michelletandler No.

@stankeye1 @milosz_szewsky @elonmusk The EU population is 450 million. Look it up.

@ClearingViews @Hot_Pepper76 Incredibly powerful vocals. Look up, the roof is gone.

@MickPuck Grace Slick. And that’s her real name—not contrived in the least!

@CollinRugg And for Congressional elections, have State districts elect at-large candidates, again by popular vote.

[Rich Kramer @RichKramerLab]

@CollinRugg Simple. Get rid of the electoral college and have the popular vote decide elections, the way it would work in a real democracy. Problem solved.

@MickPuck Mazel tov!

[Rich Kramer @RichKramerLab]

@mbeisen Yes, but you’re being persnickety.

@davidrmarsh @tuck54378 @arenella1 I’m not religious or even a believer, but I’ve been raised to treat strangers and newcomers with kindness and respect. Every major religion preaches the same thing, and it’s a core value of our country and most of the world.

@alanalda So have you! We love you Alan. I was a pre-teen in NYC when I first saw you star in The Apple Tree on Broadway. Been a fan ever since.

@nyrealestateman @JimTussing @Saganismm Sagan never claimed to be Sagan! He was just an articulate guy stating the obvious. The mysteries of nature which might eventually be answered by science, is more interesting and beautiful than mythical stories we make up. Believing in God is giving up.

[Rich Kramer @RichKramerLab]

@JimTussing @Saganismm Maybe not, but he’s doing a good job emulating Sagan. What’s wrong with that?

[Rich Kramer @RichKramerLab]

@MickPuck Beautiful song.

@ryan_ribbitt @TwangriLa @Super70sSports Such a wise pup.

[Rich Kramer @RichKramerLab]

@TwangriLa @Super70sSports I’m up to around 20 views.
Why does this film resonate with me?
It shows the horror of the human experience, but perfectly offset by beauty and artistry.
It’s the perfect exclamation point marking the end of the of Vietnam debacle.

@GratefulDead Always wondered if the Dead had any interest/plans to do Terrapin part 2. I don’t think all of the lyrics were put to music, but no doubt Jerry could have worked something out. Can’t get enough of a good thing!

[Rich Kramer @RichKramerLab]

@MickPuck Not in Sound of Music, but Tomorrow Belongs to Me was sung by Nazi youth in a haunting scene in Caberet. The song was covered by the white supremacist band Skrewdriver and heard at ultra right-wing rallies in Germany and Austria. Life imitates art!
