Gene Therapy Pipeline Update: AVROBIO Receives Orphan-Drug Designation | Roots Analysis – The News Brok

September 8th, 2020 12:53 am

AVROBIO, a US-based company, developing lentiviral-based gene therapies, has announced that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has granted orphan-drug designation for the Companys investigational gene therapy, AVR-RD-02, for the treatment of Gaucher disease.

Get a complete list of the presentations,here.

What is AVR-RD-02: AVR-RD-02 consists of the patients own hematopoietic stem cells, genetically modified to express glucocerebrosidase (GCase), the enzyme that is deficient in Gaucher disease. It is an ex vivo lentiviral-based investigational gene therapy. The stem cells are genetically modified to express functional glucocerebrosidase (GCase), which reduces levels of glucosylceramide and glucosylsphingosine, the accumulated substances which cause the symptoms of Gaucher disease.

How advanced is AVR-RD-02 development program: The Company is actively recruiting in Canada for its Phase 1/2 clinical trial of AVR-RD-02, which seeks to evaluate the safety and efficacy of the therapy in patients with Type 1 Gaucher disease.

What is an orphan drug designation: Orphan-drug designation provides special status to a drug or biological product to treat a rare disease or condition upon request of a sponsor. For a drug to qualify for orphan designation both the drug and the disease or condition must meet certain criteria specified in the ODA and FDAs implementing regulations at 21 CFR Part 316. Orphan designation qualifies the sponsor of the drug for various development incentives of the ODA, including tax credits for qualified clinical testing. A marketing application for a prescription drug product that has received orphan designation is not subject to a prescription drug user fee unless the application includes an indication for other than the rare disease or condition for which the drug was designated.

What is the gene therapy pipeline like for the treatment of Gaucher disease: There are only a few gene therapy candidates that are being developed for Gaucher disease.

Robots can now store energy like we store fat, and they dont even need to eat pizza – SYFY WIRE

September 8th, 2020 12:51 am

More and more robo-tech is evolving in an ironic turn that goes against many of the cold metal worlds in science fiction, where flesh has been taken over by machine. Maybe the most unexpected biomimetic literally mimicking biological creatures technology is a robot battery that stores energy like fat.

Sorry, Baymax, but robots will actually lose weight with a new "fat battery" (tech throughout history has often shed bulk with each upgrade).University of Michigan professor Nicholas Kotov a professor of chemical engineering, materials science and engineering, and macromolecular science and engineering has developed a zinc battery that could really level up the function of everything from nurse and server droids to delivery drones to micro- and nanobots. Smaller but much more energy-dense than the typical lithium ion battery, it can power a robot just as biological fat reserves can keep us going.

Such multifunctional batteries require mechanical strength, toughness, and stiffness.They should also be resilient against delamination, Kotov, who recently co-authored a study published in Science Robotics, told SYFY WIRE. Combining high-energy density with new mechanical properties was made possibleby designing new material for an ion-conducting membrane separating cathode and anode.This is how the batteries acquire these mechanical properties.The membrane between them was also designed with inspiration from biology; its nanofibrous structure is nearly identical to cartilage.

Kotov and his team demonstrated the power of these batteries (below) by creating a worm that resembles a robo-maggot and an epic scorpion that could possibly take down Scorponok in a Transformers death match.

Lithium ion batteries have nothing on these. Hydroxide ions passed on by a zinc electrode at the cathode (positive end) travel through that artificial cartilage to reach the anode (negative end) and transfer to the next battery. They are inflammable, unlike the electrolytes that can catch fire in lithium ion batteries. Aramid nanofibers in the cartilage are extraordinarily tough and can actually be upcycled from used body armor, while the gel component of it is water-based. Never mind that the battery itself is mostly nontoxic and costs much less to manufacture than that lithium ion one in your smartphone.

Kotov heads a lab with a focus on developing biomimetic nanostructures, and his research team wanted to figure out a more efficient way of storing energy in robots. Bots can be held back by the weight, cost, and overall restrictiveness of the usual batteries. Living organisms store energy very differently from batteries. Humans and other creatures have fat cells distributed all over the body, holding on to reserves of lipids that are burned when there is not enough energy intake to sustain them. There is no fat storage sac, which is basically what a battery is to a robot. The biomorphic batteries developed in Kotovs lab translate biology into technology.

Fat gets too much of a negative rap. Besides being an instant energy reserve, it protects internal organs, influences hormone and stem cell production, and functions as built-in thermal insulation.

These biological concepts can be put in the foundation of the batteries for robots, said Kotov. This is exactly what we have done in this project.We distributed the batteries over the entire body of the robot and made them multifunctional.Besides storing energy, our batteries also protect robot organs.

The only downside of the battery is that it can only keep up high capacity for about 100 cycles, compared to a lithium ion batterys average of 500. Zinc is the culprit because it ends up forming spikes that mean doom for the artificial cartilage membrane and the life of the battery. At least there should be no problem recycling and replacing the materials. Eventually, fat batteries could replace the entire exterior of a robot for an unreal 72 times more power capacity than one lithium ion battery. But would that impact the size of a robot? And with that, where it would be able to go and what tasks it would be capable of? Not according to Kotov.

Robots with biomorphic fat-like batteries do not need to be enormous, he said. In fact they are slimmer, lighter, and more agile than the original ones because we removed the bulky cumbersome part.The potential drawback is that this energy storage becomes more complex, but is the tradeoff for greater efficiency and range.

So these robots are more likely to deliver your pizza than eat it, and they wont even let it get cold.

‘Curing blindness’: why we need a new perspective on sight rehabilitation – The Conversation UK

September 8th, 2020 12:50 am

In a society focused on visual communication, being blind can have severe disadvantages. In fact, research shows blind people are at higher risk of unemployment, social isolation, and lower quality of life than sighted people. Given the huge impact blindness has on society and those without vision, the drive to find a cure for blindness has become a profitable market.

Many new, cutting-edge developments that cure blindness build on promises they often cannot keep, leaving many blind people and their families feeling disappointed and disillusioned. But what does curing blindness actually mean and how can it be achieved in a way that it most benefits the blind person?

When we think of curing blindness, we often think about restoring the lost sense for example, through vision-enhancing technology, bionic eyes, or gene therapy. This is because we typically treat an impaired sense by focusing on the damaged sensory organ. But while our eyes deliver the sensory input, by transforming light into electrical impulses that our brains can use, most visual perception happens in the brain.

The perception of a visual object, a coffee cup, say, is created across different hierarchical levels in the visual cortex of our brain. Simple two-dimensional features, such as edges and colours, are combined into more complex shapes, which are in turn combined into the perception of whole objects, like our coffee cup. Across these different levels, our previous visual and non-visual experiences strongly influence how we perceive the final object.

Because of the complex nature of visual perception, sight is incredibly difficult to restore, and achieving a satisfactory level of visual function is not easy. Despite significant advances in visual restoration technology, even the best visual implants typically only allow visual acuity of 1/60, which is technically still classed as blindness by the World Health Organization. While this minimal form of light perception is already great progress, its not enough to allow a person to live independently.

While every blind person has their own ideas of what sight rehabilitation should do for them, what resonates with most is the aim to increase independence by allowing blind people to gain more access to visual information.

But does the brain need vision for that? Not necessarily. This is why we need to adopt a different perspective on sensory rehabilitation one that views vision as part of a greater multisensory experience. After all, perception is rarely based on one sense alone but on a combination of multisensory experiences in which our senses influence each other.

The brain has the remarkable ability to compensate for sensory loss by reorganizing how it processes information. In fact, the brain learns to perceive through the sensory experiences it makes during childhood. If all sensory experience is non-visual, perception will develop around these experiences. So if a person was born without sight, or lost their sight early on in childhood, their perception will develop around the non-visual senses.

This is why, on some tasks, blind people perform better than sighted people, while, on other tasks, they may perform worse. This dichotomy seems to underlie a simple principle: is the sense that is typically used for this task the best suited for accessing this information? For example, we are well able to locate a buzzing phone using either our vision or hearing. In this case, more experience finding objects through sound will lead to superior performance in blind people when only hearing is used. However, given that our vision is much better suited to perceiving peoples faces, blind people usually perform worse than sighted people when recognising others faces through touch.

We know that the brain learns best about the environment when it can access the same information through multiple senses. This benefits our perception by enhancing accuracy and precision. But if we want to make use of this perceptual benefit in vision rehabilitation, we need to know whether the blind brain actually learned to generate it.

It turns out that this depends on the age a person goes blind. Blindness before the age of eight or nine years influences how touch and hearing are used together to estimate object size. But blindness after this age impairs the ability to enhance perception through multisensory combination.

So what does that mean for sensory rehabilitation? We know that theres not one best solution for all, but we also know that the age of blindness-onset can provide important clues. If a person has been blind since birth or early childhood, the brain does not know how to process visual information, so vision restoration may not bring much benefit. If, however, sight was lost later in life, the brain is best wired to perceive its surroundings through vision.

But theres still good news for the congenitally and early blind: the enhanced perceptual abilities in the remaining senses can be used to substitute vision. In fact, visual information does not have to be taken up through the eyes it can also reach the brain through our other senses. In order for that to happen, it first needs to be translated into a different sensory language. For example, visual information can be directly translated into sound. Through training, the brain then learns to use this new sensory language, opening up the visual world through the use of another sense.

While sensory restoration advancements have come a long way, we are still far from an optimal solution that allows blind people to access visual information and equally partake in society. By realising that perception depends on individual experiences, we can better develop solutions that will most benefit each person whether that aims to restore their sight, or seeks to use their other senses instead.

Hungarian researcher wins award for procedure that could cure blindness – DW (English)

September 8th, 2020 12:50 am

A Hungarian researcher has won theKrber Prize for European Science 2020 in Hamburg, Germany, earning him a1 million($1.18 million) check in the process.

Botond Roska, who works in the Swiss city of Basel, has uncovereda gene-based therapy that reprograms cells in the human eye so that they can perform the work of the light-sensitive receptors needed for human vision, according to the Krber Foundation that hands out the annual prize. It is hoped the procedure willreactivate the retinas of the blind.

The medical scientist said that, for the time being,the processcreates a level of vision similarto watching television in black and white. Clinical testson blind volunteers are already underway as a result of the Budapest-born researcher's groundbreaking work.

"Roska's research has woken up hope that new treatment methods might restore the ability to see in the blind,"said Hamburg Mayor Peter Tschentscher at theceremony on Monday.

The Krber Foundation's prize was first awarded in 1985, and it recognizesscientists whose work has applied futuristic techniques to physical sciences.

The son of a computer scientist and a pianist, Roska began his career in medicine "after a detour," said Tschentscher. The scientist first studied the cello at the Liszt Ferenc Academy of Music in Budapest, but had to give up the instrument following an injury. He thenbegan to pursue medicine and mathematics.

Last year's winner of the prestigious prize was German artificial intelligence scientistBernhard Schlkopf of the Max Planck Society.

Can corneal blindness be eradicated by 2035? | HeraldScotland – HeraldScotland

September 8th, 2020 12:50 am

Corneal blindness is the 4th most common type of blindness that affects the global population. However, it is also much easier to cure than many people might realise. In fact, with continued effort and research, this affliction might even be completely curable by 2035. Lets take a look at how this could come to pass.

Corneal blindness is described as a decrease in vision or even a complete loss of vision due to a disease of the cornea. There are several causes of this, including a vitamin A deficiency, eye trauma, or an infection of some sort.

Though it only affects 5% of the worlds blind population, it is still understandably devastating for those who have to live with this condition. It is also frequently found amongst populations that do not have the highest standard of living. If the main breadwinner of a family unit develops corneal blindness, it can have a massive knock-on effect for the rest of the family.

How Do We Treat Corneal Blindness?

Luckily, corneal blindness can be easier to treat than other types, and it can even fully restore someones sight to them. This is usually done with a corneal transplant. The cornea is the clear outer layer of your eye and it is an option for those who are filling out organ donor lists. Corneal transplants are one of the most common types of transplants that happen around the world.

Obviously, no transplant surgery can be described as cheap, and the people who need it the most often come from very poor areas or backgrounds. That is why the work of people like Tej Kohli and the Save Sight Registries are so important. They are helping those who need the treatment the most to get the help they need at no cost to them. It is a selfless pursuit, that could impact millions of lives.

How Do We Eradicate Corneal Blindness?

Treating corneal blindness is only the first step we need to take. It is also incredibly important that we put in plenty of steps to prevent further cases developing. Since corneal blindness is often caused by environmental factors, this can make it easier to do than something that could be primarily hereditary.

By making sure that people have a good standard of living at home and supplying PPE to dangerous worksites where the eye could be harmed, we will be able to prevent many cases of corneal blindness before they take root. This is incredibly important and could help to make numbers drop rapidly.

With this two-pronged attack between treatment and cause, we should see a decrease in the number of cases. This will soon put us well on the track to eradicating corneal blindness by 2035. Doing so will be a massive step forward in not just our lives but in medical science too. Who knows what we could learn as we fight to eradicate this illness throughout the world?

Colour blindness in football: Kit clashes and fan struggles – what is being done? – BBC Sport

September 8th, 2020 12:50 am

Imagine trying to pass to a team-mate or avoid an opponent, but you can't because this is what you see...

From the grassroots to the highest professional level, colour blindness can impact the performance of players and coaches, spoil the enjoyment of watching sport (live or on TV), and affect commercial deals.

Kit clashes, coloured footballs under floodlights, signage and multi-coloured digital content can be problematic for people affected. A staggering one in 12 men suffer from colour blindness, and one in 200 women, amounting to a worldwide community of over 300 million people.

Despite this statistic, all too often colour blind fans find themselves unable to tell the teams apart, buy tickets independently or even see the ball.

Throughout the season, colour blind fans take to social media to vent their frustration and make the leagues and broadcasters aware of their ongoing oversight. In the Premier League during the last campaign, there were constant kit clashes being flagged up by viewers.

This is common across leagues around the world, and also in the international game. The same questions are asked of Fifa and Uefa during major tournaments, with many high-profile matches causing difficulty.

This is not just a problem for viewers, but players too.

Very few players are publicly colour blind, some due to lack of awareness, and others to avoid the risk of it damaging their chances of getting selected.

Coaches face similar issues, with equipment and training wear often invisible or difficult to distinguish between.

There is growing pressure on the key stakeholders, and some steps are beginning to be made to help raise awareness and consider colour blind people in all aspects of the game.

As far back as 2014, the FA Cup swapped its traditional white for a new pink Nike football, designed to be highly visible. However, it was clearly anything but, with colour blind people unable to distinguish the ball from the pitch.

After attracting fierce criticism from fans and commentators alike, the FA swapped back to a mainly white ball just a few months after release.

The FA has been active in campaigning and educating people ever since, releasing this animationexternal-link last year to give people an appreciation of the challenges faced by players and fans. In partnership with Uefa, it co-authored colour blindness guidelines that are now being adopted by more clubs and national associations.

Last season in the Premier League, Burnley were instructed by the Premier League not to wear their alternative green strip in their match against West Ham, prompting the release of a speedily designed, special edition white kit to avoid any clashes.

This weekend, Nations League matches will be the focal point for this year's Colour Blind Awareness Day (6 September), with many leading national associations and players participating in a campaign. Through a European Union-funded scheme run by Tackling Colour Blindness In Sport, the likes of Portugal and Manchester United's Bruno Fernandes and Iceland and Everton's Gylfi Sigurdsson have pledged their support.

"Not being able to watch a match on TV in full colour, to help easily distinguish between teams, referee cards and coloured objects in the stands seems almost unimaginable to me," said Fernandes.

"None of my team-mates has identified as colour blind but for sure there are many in football who may face a range of difficulties when playing or watching the game.

"That's why it's so important to raise awareness, provide greater information and make changes so that those who live with colour blindness don't feel left out and experience the game to the fullest."

Sigurdsson has experienced the issues first hand.

"I was at Reading's academy for many years with a colour blind player, Nicholas Bignall, who went on to play at a Premier League club. At the time I didn't realise he was colour blind and didn't appreciate until now how much more challenging training was for him if we used equipment he couldn't tell apart. This must have made it much more difficult to earn a place in the squad at times."

Matt Holland, best known for his time with Ipswich, Charlton and the Republic of Ireland, is an example of a player who had to deal with colour blindness while competing at the top level.

"Generally I was OK in games but occasionally struggled when the kits were quite close colour wise. The biggest challenge was having to take a split second longer to make a decision on where I was going to pass the ball to make certain I was passing to a team-mate."

"As a commentator now, I think it is imperative that colours of opposition sides are vastly different, and it would be helpful if the numbers on the back of shirts were more visible."

Despite ongoing kit clashes and social media frustrations, slow progress is clearly being made by the decision makers of football.

"The good news is that implementing procedures to assist and protect those with colour blindness in sport is relatively simple," said Kathryn Albany-Ward, founded of Colour Blind Awareness.

"Much of the time, all that's needed is a little goodwill and forward planning, and solutions can have positive benefits for teams, fans, sponsors and broadcasters."

The FDA just banned a toxic hand sanitizer made and distributed in the USA – BGR

September 8th, 2020 12:50 am

While you might be inclined to think that any hand sanitizer you pick up off a store shelf is safe to use, the sad reality is that some hand sanitizers have proven to be toxic, and in some instances, deadly. As weve highlighted previously, the FDA over the past few months has banned approximately 170 hand sanitizer brands due to the presence of methanol, a toxic substance that can cause a myriad of serious health complications.

Also known as wood alcohol, methanol has been found to cause seizures, permanent blindness, vomiting, and a range of other symptoms in users. In some tragic cases, it has even resulted in death when ingested by children.

Consumers who have been exposed to hand sanitizer containing methanol should seek immediate treatment which is critical for potential reversal of toxic effects of methanol poisoning, the FDA said in a letter a few months back.

Substantial methanol exposure can result in nausea, vomiting, headache, blurred vision, permanent blindness, seizures, coma, permanent damage to the nervous system or death, the statement adds.

Up until now, identifying potentially dangerous hand sanitizer brands has been somewhat easy given that nearly every offending brand was manufactured in Mexico. Recently, though, the FDA identified a dangerous hand sanitizer brand that was traced back to Florida.

As reported by the Miami Herald, a hand sanitizer brand manufactured by a Coral Gables company and distributed in Miami was found to contain methanol. The brand was quickly added to the FDAs banned list, a move which was accompanied by a recall.

AJR Trading recalled lot No. 20DF8307 of bio aaa Advance Hand Sanitizer in 480 ml bottles, expiration date April, 2022, after the FDA said its testing found methanol. Methanol, also known as wood alcohol, can be toxic if rubbed into the skin, according to the FDA.

The FDA adds that the company voluntarily recalled 2,004 units of the product due to the possible presence of methanol. Its worth noting that the company, to date, hasnt received any reports of users experiencing any adverse reactions to the product.

The FDA adds:

Consumers with questions regarding this recall can contact AJR Trading by phone insert 305-302-8416 or e-mail to ajrtrading15@gmaill.com Monday to Friday from 10:00 am to 5:00 pm Central Time. Consumers should contact their physician or healthcare provider if they have experienced any problems that may be related to taking or using this drug product.

A partial list of other banned hand sanitizer brands identified by the FDA can be seen below:

Is Molly Burke Fully Blind? The Influencer Faces Regular Bullying – Distractify

September 8th, 2020 12:50 am

From serving as a spokesperson for Foundation Fighting Blindness Canada, to becoming a motivational speaker, and then working full-time as an influencer with more than 2 million YouTube subscribers, Molly Burke is a force to be reckoned with. The 26-year-old also happens to be blind something she strives to educate the masses about in order to smash stereotypes and highlight societal barriers faced by the blind community.

But is Molly Burke fully blind? Keep reading to learn more.

Molly often gets bullied online because random strangers don't believe she's actually blind and the relentless misconceptions about people who are blind are often to blame.

In 2016, she published a YouTube video titled "Top 5 Reasons Why People on YouTube Think I'm Not Blind," during which Molly shared some people believe she's not fully blind because she can type. Except, as she pointed out in the video, there is an abundance of technology available to assist people with vision impairment / blindness to communicate (like talk-to-text, for example).

Another reason some are skeptical about Molly's blindness is because of the language she uses.

"For me, when I used the word 'watching,' obviously I don't mean physically watching with my eyes the way a sighted person would watch," she explained. "But for me, the word 'watching' means 'listening' it's interchangeable for me ... and yes, I'm still going to use the word 'watch,' and 'look,' and 'saw,' and 'see.' And that doesn't mean I'm faking my blindness."

Others mistakenly assume Molly must be able to see because her eyes don't appear to have anything physically "wrong" with them. "'You can't be blind, your eyes are blue,' or, 'You can't be blind, your eyes look normal,' or 'Your eyes are too pretty for you to be blind,'" are all comments she said she's fielded.

(For the record, Molly does have nystagmus, which causes her eyes to shake although it's not super noticeable.)

Here's another reason some people think Molly isn't actually blind: She's able to look directly at the camera.

"As a blind person, I'm still able to easily look at a camera because number one, it's not that hard to look straight forward, where the camera is straight ahead of you," she explained. "And number two, I use a ring light, which is a light that sits right on top of my camera and I have light perception, so I just look and see where the light is and then look directly below and know that is where my lens is. So that's where I have to look."

Still others wonder why Molly doesn't wear dark sunglasses if she's fully blind.

"This is a huge stereotype about the blind community that's not true," she said. "Yes, some blind people wear dark sunglasses when they're inside and outside. Yes, some blind people, including often myself, wear dark sunglasses when we're outside. And some blind people don't wear sunglasses ever, at all."

So yes, Molly Burke is truly, fully blind despite the fact that she doesn't wear sunglasses, doesn't have anything "wrong" with how her eyes physically appear, can type, can look into her camera lens, and uses phrases like "watching TV." And with the help of social media, she's working to continue smashing these stereotypes and more every day.

Senators and Representatives Ask EPA to Study Impact of Tear Gas on Environment – EHS Daily Advisor

September 8th, 2020 12:50 am

In a letter dated August 13, 2020, Senators Ron Wyden and Jeff Merkley and Representatives Earl Blumenauer and Suzanne Bonamici, all of Oregon, requested that the EPA investigate the impact of tear gas use on people, air, land, and bodies of water.

LuizSouza / Shutterstock.com

The letter pointed out possible side effects the use of the chemicals might have, as well as potential long-term impacts.

In addition to the direct health impacts on our constituents, we are also deeply concerned about the impact tear gas has had on Oregons environment, the letter says. State and local environmental and health agencies are investigating its impacts, and it is also the duty of the Federal Government to provide information that will help further these studies and make information about the environmental impacts of tear gas usage readily available to the American public.

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, long-term exposure can cause blindness, glaucoma, immediate death from chemical burns and respiratory failure.

Tear gas is the generic term for a class of compounds that cause a burning sensation, according to a report by ProPublica. Most law enforcement agencies in the U.S., including the Philadelphia Police Department this week, use a chemical called CS, short for 2-chlorobenzalmalononitrile. CS activates a specific pain receptor, one thats also triggered by eating wasabi, said Sven-Eric Jordt, a professor of anesthesiology at Duke University. But CS is much more powerful, up to 100,000 times stronger than the sting from wasabi, he added.

They are really pain nerve gases, Jordt said. They are designed to induce pain.

Numerous medical and public health professionals have also noted that respiratory irritation from exposure to CS gas has the potential to increase the risk for COVID-19.

The Oregon state leaders sent the letter because Portland courthouse personnel were seen hosing tear gas off the sidewalks and streets around the courthouse after it was utilized as a riot control method. These chemicals were washed into storm drains and other groundwater sources.

The letter asks for the following specific information:

Because tear gas is often deployed as a method of riot control in all states and use of the gas has been widespread in many states in recent months, discovering the potential long-term impacts of the use of these chemicals is important.

Its a Golden Age for Pretending Not to Notice Acquaintances on the Street – The Cut

That wearing a mask is an effective way of reducing the spread of COVID-19 is well-established at this point. Both the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the World Health Organization recommend that people wear masks in public spaces where social distancing is not possible. That alone should be reason enough for you to mask up before walking out the door, but there is another possible benefit to wearing a face covering in public: not getting recognized by acquaintances on the street.

According to a new report from the New York Times, the widespread use of masks in the United States has made facial recognition increasingly difficult for many people in some cases, to an extent thats equivalent to having face blindness. In a recently published study, Dr. Erez Freud, a psychologist with the Centre for Vision Research at York University in Toronto, and his co-authors found that participants struggled to recognize faces that had surgical-style masks covering their noses and mouths. Of the nearly 500 adults who completed a facial-memory exercise online, 13 percent had so much trouble identifying masked faces that, per the Times, they may as well have suffered from prosopagnosia, or face blindness. Comparatively, only 3.5 percent scored that low in identifying people without masks.

A mask doesnt grant total anonymity, of course. Research has found that people rely most heavily on the eyes when identifying someone (I can personally confirm this: Once, I was pretty sure I saw Jake Gyllenhaal walking by my old office in Tribeca, but he was wearing sunglasses so I couldnt be 100 percent certain).

The report also found that the observers culture influenced their ability to perceive people wearing masks. Studies from 2009 and 2015 found that participants from Egypt and the United Arab Emirates countries where headscarves are more common were better than American or British participants at identifying faces where only the eyes, nose, and mouth were showing.

Struggling to identify faces can present real challenges in identifying and communicating with people (it can be more difficult to read peoples emotions, for example). Given that were all in the same boat right now, though, consider the possible upsides. Imagine, for instance, walking down the street by your apartment and constantly crossing paths with the guy you briefly dated who really tried to get you into the Joe Rogan Experience. Previously, youd both pretend to suddenly be consumed with something on your phones, and hurry past each other with heads bent. Now, you can both walk freely, spines straight, faces masked, blissfully unaware of each others presence, burdened only by absolutely every other terrible thing that is going on in the world. A dream!
