Sue and I dancing at our wedding, just as we did at our prom four years earlier, but with one big difference: Now I am blind.

I am always excited to hear about progress in stem cell-based therapy for blindness. #BioMedicine is definitely bridging the gap between the future and present. Read about scientific progress in Katherine Baillie's latest article for @medical_xpress: https://t.co/Ydpa18GJMX

When I woke up blind in a hospital bed in February 1961, I thought my college days were over. Instead, fifteen months later I graduated from Columbia University as president of my class. @Columbia

Hearing about this newly released book by the great @NinaTotenberg really struck a chord with me, given how many dinners and personal conversations Ruth and I shared. I'm looking forward to reading it, reflecting on our friendship and honoring her memory. https://t.co/rc4IvEbJnD

Everyone needs a best friend like Art Garfunkel. When darkness came and pain was all around, Arthur was my bridge over troubled water.

How do you grab the right things when you can't see? Well, I make sure that my cupboards are well organized so I can find what I need. I also make sure to wear a hat when walking around so that the brim protects my head if I accidentally bump into something.
