Yes, I do think that is exactly the kind of vision loss Marty Hoffman has been wondering about. I have a million questions - like for example if it was both eyes and if you had ever had it happen before. I can see you have an email address on your blog so I'll contact you.sea legs girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14782712411873234071noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-834846832861622672.post-82586396057103741082012-12-03T12:33:47.092+01:002012-12-03T12:33:47.092+01:00Congrats on the new research project.

Let me know if you want information on the area. It sounds like you've got your information network covered already, though.<br />So happy for you. It sounds like everything is really coming together!Dianahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14137207492303218465noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-834846832861622672.post-43064262869959443422012-12-03T00:27:12.997+01:002012-12-03T00:27:12.997+01:00Hi.

Luckily I finished it.I hope this project will push through as until now I haven't figured out what happened. You can find out more my condition in http://jon-ultra.blogspot.com (kindly search WS100 race report).<br /><br />Thiis reminds me of similar situation for elite TNF runner Sebastian Chagneau who had to pull out of UTMB this year because of vision problem.<br /><br />Thanks and more power!<br /><br />Jon (Clark Philippines) Jonniferhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13737345840973032598noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-834846832861622672.post-20685887267176054802012-12-02T20:47:36.840+01:002012-12-02T20:47:36.840+01:00That's exciting!

I have been going back and forth for years now about what specialty to apply for after I am done with the PhD. I DID start an ophthalmology resideny in the US after I completed my internship. (I actually met SR during my internship and his residency). I had to drop out of my ophthalmology program when I learned I was pregant and would be working 80 hours a week alone with a baby without maternity leave. Having the "drop out" on my record is going to make finding a spot next time a lot more difficult, whatever specialty I choose. The first time I applied, I got my first choice specialty at my first choice hospital like I was just waving a magic wand. This time I will have to work harder (despite being more qualified) to get a residency. And yes, I do want to do clinical medicine again. And I want most to do Physical Medicine & Rehab.sea legs girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14782712411873234071noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-834846832861622672.post-46117978396573226422012-11-30T21:52:51.711+01:002012-11-30T21:52:51.711+01:00Olga-you are the best.

But I suppose that now that you want to do something different you need to do the whole residency thing from the beginning. <br />So you do those researches somehow to get experience to be able to get into a good residency program, it is not what you will do for the rest of your life as a full time job, you eventually might want to work as a physician and therefore you need to get through residency program, right? <br />I think that now I understand what you do much better. I thought that you were just totally clueless about what you want to do when you grow up and therefore starting a new project every few months, but that's not the case. mmmonykahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09703551248084847150noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-834846832861622672.post-45466823785931290412012-11-30T16:07:50.800+01:002012-11-30T16:07:50.800+01:00So, it means you'll spend June in Squaw Valley...So, it means you'll spend June in Squaw Valley prior and post WS100 for the research itself, then go back to finish PhD, then once that done, come back hopefully admitted to UC-Davis as a Postdoc continuing on that subject under Marty? (who, by the way, is an awesome guy! great runner, and had done a lot of research at WS on various endurance stuff). <br />There were many cases of vision loss (full or partial) lately in endurance sports. May be there were as many before, but social media wasn't as developed, so we didn't know about most. May be it's due to en-masses coming to the sport and that first of increased a sheer number of people with complications (as sheer number of participants increased), as well as due to lots of those en-masses coming under-trained and in not best health conditions (back couple decades ago endurance was for a small population who were healthy and somewhat gifted, now it's an almost epidemic, for better or worse).<br />I am sure you'll enjoy every star sighting - and research - and history.Olgahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00493291972954387932noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-834846832861622672.post-34572547171408855012012-11-30T14:22:35.803+01:002012-11-30T14:22:35.803+01:00This is awesome!

That's what I'm starting to work on and this Western States research project just came up in that pursuit.

You have already finished your PhD from Copenhagen U?<br />And weren't you doing some kind of research about yoga?
