How one NYC music school created a multisensory Zoom course on The Nutcracker to students with vision loss - our teachers are doing an amazing job this year:

Happy Friday! Check out this blast from the past sent to us by FFS grantee Dr. Robert Stamper. “The Fight for Sight Fellowship...showed me how rewarding and awesome ophthalmic research could be and laid the groundwork for my subsequent career in academic ophthalmology. Since then, I have had the opportunity for a most fulfilling career, and I am profoundly grateful to Fight for Sight for their role in getting me started.”

Thank you Dr. Stamper for the kind words and ”vintage” find!📬

Why what you see might be different from what you imagine - food for thought to start off the week!

Researchers have discovered a neural overlap between human and machine that helps to explain why what we see in our mind's eye is different to the information being processed by our actual eyes when we're peering at something in reality.
