Wonderful opportunity and honor to tell our story @RFK_CERC Best part was seeing @HeatherDSnell and @PeriKurshan
Such a great day of advocacy and research presentations, but the highlight was running into @lbhmana and hearing her talk about all the amazing things the @cacna1a is doing! So excited to continue our relationship and research in my lab! ❤️

Enjoying meeting pediatric ophthalmologists and raising awareness of the earliest sign of our disease!
