Perception and preference may have genetic link to obesity
sciencedaily.com — “New discoveries suggest that fats are perceived on the tongue as a "taste" sensation by binding to specialized receptors on taste buds. More specifically, fats are broken down in the mouth to fatty acids, and it's the fatty acids that bind to these receptors.” View full resource at sciencedaily.com

Is perfume making us fat? - Chew On This - MiamiHerald.com
miamiherald.com — “The causes of obesity are many. The most significant are overeating, genetics and inactivity, heightened by an abundance of sedentary activities such as television viewing, video gaming and computer use. Some researchers are delving into environmental factors that could be minor but controllable contributors to this growing public health issue.” View full resource at miamiherald.com

Genetic Link for Glaucoma Among Young African Americans Found | new-glaucoma-treatments.com
new-glaucoma-treatments.com — “Although glaucoma is commonly documented in the elderly, genetics is the main culprit behind the early development of glaucoma seen in young African American adults. A group of researchers recently discovered that this genetic vulnerability is due to higher than normal oxygen levels in African American eyes.” View full resource at new-glaucoma-treatments.com

Education & Training
After graduating with top honors from the University of Southern California (USC), he received the prestigious Phi Beta Kappa Scholarship to attend Harvard Medical School. While in medical school, he accepted a research fellowship at the National Institutes of Health to study visual cognition. Dr. Richardson then completed an internal medicine internship at Huntington Memorial Hospital in Pasadena, which was followed by ophthalmology training at LAC+USC/Doheny Eye Institute in Los Angeles – one of the top ophthalmology residencies in the country.
Experience & Specialization
Dr. Richardson joined the San Gabriel Valley Eye Associates in 1999 and became San Gabriel’s first ophthalmologist to use such modern technologies as the accommodating Crystalens (with cataract surgery) and the iTrack microcatheter (canaloplasty glaucoma surgery). Dr. Richardson is among an elite group of glaucoma specialists in the country performing the highly specialized canaloplasty procedure. Patients have traveled from as far away as Mumbai, India to have canaloplasty by Dr. Richardson.
Dr. Richardson not only performs canaloplasty, he also teaches other surgeons how to do so. As one of the leading canaloplasty surgeons he regularly gives talks at the national meetings of eye surgeons. As part of his quest to make this safer glaucoma surgery available to glaucoma patients throughout the world, he is often asked to fly out to teach individual doctors how best to incorporate canaloplasty into their practices. Dr. Richardson was recently included among a panel of respected glaucoma surgeons whose goal was to find ways to make it easier for other eye surgeons to learn how to perform canaloplasty. You can read what this panel had to say here.
