The ISER 2014 meeting in San Francisco was held back in July and I am just now getting to the post after sitting down to go through a backlog of image editing. Its been a busy year. Sorry folks. Next ISER (2016 in Japan!), I promise to be faster with the imagery… What follows is a quick summary of some of the action. It is certainly not a comprehensive documentation of the meeting, but a small slice of some of what I saw.
Robert Marc received the Paul Kayser International Award in Retina Research and gave a stunning talk with the only standing ovation I’ve ever seen for an ISER talk. I’m really disappointed that there was no recording of it.
Steve Fliesler made this cartoon of the image of Robert above, with a caption that pretty much describes the moment… encapsulating some of the concepts that we’ve been pushing for the last few years. I love this, so much.
