Months of consistently going to the gym finally paying off* *I lifted a CRT monitor onto a raised plinth and it only took 3 attempts

Should have shouted about it sooner, but I'm at VSS! My poster presentation was this morning, but if you'd like to hear about how the Magnocellular pathway modulates spatial vision, just ask!

Had a great time at my first VSS Meeting getting to meet and chat science with such lovely folks. See you on the beach next time y'all!

Great news: our critical appraisal of the Cass Review is now available as a pre-print. In it, we demonstrate that the Cass Report's application of evidence-based medicine to gender affirming care for children and young people is deeply flawed. Read here: osf.io/preprints/osf/…

Excited to get started at ECVP 2024 after having a great time with the OptiVisT meeting and warming up to Aberdeen!

In other overdue updates: after an amazing year (and a bit) with the Visual Neuroscience group at University of Nottingham, I have taken up a postdoctoral research associate position with the REVAMP study at the School of Optometry & Vision Sciences, Cardiff University

Recently, we had the pleasure of hosting the Imaging & Perimetry Society (IPS) XXVth International Visual Field & Imaging Symposium in Cardiff, UK. International experts and ECRs came together to present and discuss their cutting-edge research Cardiff University Cardiff Uni Optom Thread🧵

Our lab members and wider research group presented latest findings from the REVAMP Study and associated projects at the #IPS2024 meeting, Cardiff (30 Jul - 2 Aug 2024). Oral & poster presentations by our group spanned basic psychophysics, clinical translation... thread🧵
