Thrilled to again have spoken before representatives from the FDA about day-to-day life as a family affected by low vision. This time it was via the Duke-Robert J. Margolis, MD, Institute for Health Policy. (Don't worry, there were other Carolina alumni there, Go Heels!)

It was an honor and a pleasure to represent my family, BCM Families Foundation, and all those affected by inherited retinal diseases before this group of stakeholders from the FDA, academia, biotech, and patient advocacy. Especially in these wild times with the National Guard presence in DC and public health under attack, today was a great reminder of what can be accomplished when everyone comes to the table with a singular focus.

Beautiful day = quick walk through the park = mosquito bites. Too bad this cream didn't help the itch.

Checking expiration dates before things expire is such a good idea. I tell patients to go through their medicine cabinet every 6 months, when they check their smoke alarms. Clearly this is a case of the doctor not following her own advice...

I care for people with rare diseases as a mother, daughter, and doctor. As more light is shed, we are realizing rare diseases aren't so rare after all.

Inadequate sleep is the norm amongst adolescents. Sleep is so important for adolescents; their bodies and minds are growing exponentially during these years, and those processes happen during sleep. Teaching good sleep habits is a crucial part of how I deliver exceptional primary care - from my newborns all the way up to my 100+ year-old members.

Some "awards" are kind of garbage (ahem Who's Who, I saw right through your gimmick even in high school.) Castle Connolly Top Doctors is one I'm really proud of, because it can't be bought. It's bestowed by my peers, meaning I'm a "doctors' doctor." And I have been for five years!

Happy New Year! Last day we can say that? With Epiphany behind us, it's not Christmas anymore either. 🫀 Good thing the Park Ave trees are still up and lit. When they go away it's just back to being dark at 4pm 😭

Try to squeeze in a bundled up walk in the morning, even 20 minutes. This will tell your brain it's daytime, get some endorphins going, and let you soak up a little vitamin D.

Paying attention to all of our senses can help.

Election anxiety? This is a bit of a read, but well worth it. It's the weekly note from Fr. Donald Baker in our parish bulletin two days ago.

Lest we forget democracy is still in its infancy, still an experiment, and the world is still watching.

"Fundamental to that experiment's success is the power to vote... When democracy works, it is the people who choose. I find that tremendously reassuring."

This weekend I had the great privilege of speaking at The Ocular Forum 2, held at UCDC. The Forum for Collaborative Research is part of and brings together industry, academia, regulatory agencies, and patient organizations to target areas of unmet medical need, including inherited retinal diseases.

It was my distinct honor to represent my family and as the "voice of the patient."

It was a day of fruitful discussion and real collaboration and a *GREAT* reminder of what can be accomplished when we all leave our hat at the door and come together at the table not as representatives of this or that, but simply as humans.
