“I have been assembling the recording set-up for the second half of my project
(recordings from single photoreceptors - mostly rods – in rat); the past few weeks I
have been working on mastering retina dissection and suction electrode techniques. This
week I have been swamped in paperwork (I am applying for the W.C.Ezell fellowship - from
the American Optometric Foundation), but today I am back
in the lab, doing experiments (on a monkey retina, for a change).” |
