  • Favorite retinal cell: Ganglion cells. The variety of their functions and forms and the way they collect information from other retinal cells is intriguing.
  • Thoughts on the retina: How to view the world in a normal vision seems common for most people, but the process is actually complicated. Due to genetic or environmental factors, some alterations may occur, leading to ocular diseases and visual errors.
  • Hobbies: video and board games, crafts, playing keyboard, reading, watching anime and movies, currently learning French and Cantonese as well as traditional Chinese medicine.
