Congratulations to Aya, Daniel, David, Emma, Julio, Marta and Yaqoub, who presented their work in the first in-person COSE showcase in 3 years! Their work sparked a lot of interest and is helping introduce everyone in the College of Science and Engineering to our work in the fascinating visual system of the little skate. 1) Emma Alvarez “The complexity of the simplex retina: Identifying bipolar cell diversity in little skate’s retina” 2) Marta Guevara (not pictured) “The singular rod photoreceptors of the skate retina” 3) Yaqoub Yusuf “Investigating the skate retina by identifying the purpose and function of horizontal cells” 4) Aya Alazzeh and Daniel Brown “Characteristics of photoreceptor and bipolar cell nuclei in the skate retina” 5) Julio Robles “Mitochondrial distribution, quantification and architecture in functionally plastic sensory neurons” 6) David Umbertus “Defining rod pathways for dim light vision in a simplex retina”.
