Deafblindness is a condition that combines in varying degrees both hearing and visual impairment creating a severe disability which is different and unique.
ARVO’s annual meeting is not only the largest vision research gathering in the world — but also a yearly reminder that science advances through relationships as much as experiments.
Great to see such progress in the field and to share smiles, enthusiasm, and ideas. #ARVO2024

Experts also reported that Ukrainian children are being sent to Russia for adoption. So far, Russian government sources confirmed that over 1,000 children have been transferred.
⚡️ Russia says over 1,000 children from Mariupol 'adopted' in its remote cities.
The local authorities in Russia’s Krasnodar said that over 1,000 Ukrainian children from the occupied city of Mariupol “have found new families” in Tyumen, Irkutsk, Kemerovo, and Altai Krai.

That new building was a death row, and Russians never intended to keep those Azovstal fighters alive in the first place.
Calls to avoid humiliation of Russia can only humiliate France and every other country that would call for it. Because it is Russia that humiliates itself. We all better focus on how to put Russia in its place. This will bring peace and save lives.
