EuroTimes: GROUND CONTROL TO MAJOR CHRIS

http://myeurotimes.blogspot.com/2013/05/by-colin-kerrexecutive-editor-eurotimes.html

Monday, May 13, 2013. GROUND CONTROL TO MAJOR CHRIS. By Colin Kerr, Executive Editor, EuroTimes. If you were a teenager growing up in the 1960’s, David Bowie’s “Space Oddity”, released in 1969, would have been part of the soundtrack of your life. Space travel defined that decade in the same way that the internet defines the times we live in today. Http:/ www.spacechronology.com/1960s.html#ixzz2TA3bOjQJ. So where do we go from here? Only the great, great songs can bring tears to your eyes, and Hadfield&#8...

EuroTimes: September 2014

http://myeurotimes.blogspot.com/2014_09_01_archive.html

Friday, September 19, 2014. SIT BACK, RELAX, ENJOY THE SHOW AND SEE YOU NEXT YEAR. A large conference is sort of like the Olympic Village that’s always built in the Olympics’ host city. It contains a collection of like-minded individuals which,when the hotels are included, are separated from the rest of the population,. Separated from friends and family, essentially separated from the rest of the world. Large as Sochi’s village, which was attended by “only” 6,000 athletes. It’s not only the foreign...

EuroTimes: November 2011

Friday, November 4, 2011. Strawberry Visual Fields Forever. Dr Heuer, speaking at the recent meeting of the American Academy of Ophthalmololgy in Orlando, Florida ended his tribute with a rendition of the immortal “Yesterday”:. Loss of vision seemed so far away. Then I had trabeculecto-may. Oh, how I long for Yesterday. My vision’s half of what it used to be. There’s a shadow hanging over me. Oh vision loss came suddenly. Why I needed more flow. I don’t know. She wouldn’t ne say. Now I long for yesterday.

EuroTimes: October 2011

http://myeurotimes.blogspot.com/2011_10_01_archive.html

Thursday, October 6, 2011. To some ophthalmologists, the name Steve Jobs won't mean a lot. He died today aged 56 with pancreatic cancer. So why should eye surgeons, or indeed any other health professionals, remember him? Of course it should be pointed out that Steve Jobs alone wasn't responsible for this technological revolution, but he became a cheerleader for a new generation that wanted and continues to want to look at new ways of seeing, hearing and speaking. Steve Jobs, rest in peace.

Friday, October 22, 2010. ESCRS symposium on emerging lenticular options at AAO/ISRS refractive subspecialty day. As in laser vision correction, a slight negative asphericity in the eye targeted for near in mini-monovision also has been shown to increase depth of field in pseudophakic patients, noted Jose Guell MD, Barcelona, Spain. “It can be a very useful tool for presbypoia improvement,” he said. However, and somewhat unexpectedly, the light-adjustable lenses did not result in higher levels of coma or...

Tuesday, May 15, 2012. Social Media - You Can't Have It All. Executive Editor, EuroTimes. I've just returned from the Media Future conference in Dun Laoghaire, Dublin, where I hoped to finally unlock the Pandora's Box that holds the answers to my quest for a Social and Digital Media strategy. I've been working on this project for the last ten years and still haven't found what I'm looking for. But hope springs eternal and maybe today is the day I will discover my inner New Media Guru. Thank heaven for Go...

EuroTimes: February 2012

http://myeurotimes.blogspot.com/2012_02_01_archive.html

Tuesday, February 21, 2012. A new dawn for ophthalmology in the Middle East and North Africa. This region (the Middle East and North Africa) is the cradle of civilisation as well as the origin of mankind. It is here that human civilisation started 6,000 years ago.". With these words Dr Adbulaziz Al Rahji sent out a message to the 10,000 delegates from 136 countries attending the World Ophthalmology Congress 2012 in Abu Dhabi, that ophthalmology has to look to a global audience if it is to develop. The 16...

Bright Futures Q&A: Michelle Xu. OPN: Many people in science initially envision themselves in an academic career. Was that your initial goal? If not, what career trajectory were you envisioning for yourself? I did not initially consider an academic career because I was told that I was not smart. On one of my first grade tests, I thought that 1 1=11. OPN: How did you end up at Intel? OPN: What was it like to transition from your lab to a large company like Intel? OPN: What is the culture like at Intel?
