Why Is Ignacio Provencio Influential?

(Suggest an Edit or Addition)

According to Wikipedia, Ignacio Provencio is an American neuroscientist and the discoverer of melanopsin, an opsin found in specialized photosensitive ganglion cells of the mammalian retina. Provencio served as the program committee chair of the Society for Research on Biological Rhythms from 2008 to 2010.
