Protecting Sight #302: How animals and plants are evolving in cities. posterior polar cataracts and toxic optic neuropathy. Morning Brew’s rise from zero to one.

Welcome to my daily learning journal. My daily goal is to watch one Ted Talk and one cataract surgery. I also plan to read one journal article and read/listen to a book chapter, podcast, or significant work.

Here is today’s list:

1. Ted Talk – Menno Schilthuizen: How animals and plants are evolving in cities. “In cities, evolution occurs constantly, as countless plants, animals and insects adapt to human-made habitats in spectacular ways. Evolutionary biologist Menno Schilthuizen calls on peculiar beings such as fast food-loving mice and self-cooling snails to illustrate the ever-transforming wonders of urban wildlife — and explains how you can observe this phenomenon in real-time, thanks to a global network of enthusiastic citizen scientists.” (ted.com)

Enjoyable Ted Talk. Nice review of evolutionary systems.

2. Cataract Surgery – Uday Devgan MD – 1070: Posterior Polar Cortical Cleaving. Dr. Rosatelli is a master surgeon. Great pearls.

3. Andrew Lee MD – Toxic optic neuropathy.

Dr. Lee’s 450+ neuro-ophthalmology reviews are around 5 minutes each. Perfect for the busy clinician & trainee. I plan to watch one a day, from oldest to newest.

4. TIP344: A DEEP DIVE INTO MORNING BREW’S $75M VALUATION W/ ALEX LIEBERMAN

I signed up for the Morning Brew email after listening to this podcast episode. Excellent episode for entrepreneurs. Insights on building a business & brand.
