  1. I'm excited! I'm currently on a train to Brighton because this afternoon I'm running a Wikipedia edit-a-thon as a satellite event to the International Colour Vision Society conference!

    I've been banging on for years that we should be doing this sort of thing, and now it's finally the day! I really think we should be encouraging academics to see Wikipedia editing as a core part of their role. You say that knowledge curation and dissemination is your thing? Then let's go improve and update the biggest shared repository of knowledge together! Let's gooo! 🤓📖📚💪🥳✨

  2. This week I'm taking a break from #MetaScience / #OpenScience and getting back into #SCIENCE!

    I'm at the Rank Symposium on "21st Century Colour Vision" 👁️🧠🌈🤓

    Got Colour Vision questions? AMA!
    (If I don't know the answer I'll have lots of people to pass the question on to...)

  3. I will be holding my seminar series "The Phenomenon of Colour" again in 2025.

    I am thinking of designing an info-poster for it. If any former students/participants have artwork that I can use for the posters, please feel free to send it my way !

    Details of the 2025 edition:

    I will be adding a new seminar: "Colour and Technology" to the programme.

  4. I've had a go at adding a very rough simulation of colour vision deficiency to my colour palette maker, so I don't accidentally pick colours that look fine for me but are indistinguishable to someone with different colour vision.

    I spent 10 minutes looking up perceptual models of CVD then gave up and just did what Firefox dev tools does and scaled down the R, G or B components 😅

  6. Monkey beetles are just cool and fascinating (and often colourful). And those regions of South Africa seem to have a higher than expected number of these red and orange flowers that are not particularly visible to bees. Is there some sort of coevolution between monkey beetles and flowers? #ColourVision

  7. I will be holding a short seminar series starting this Monday, titled:

    "The Phenomenon of Color: From Newton to Darwin".

    I'm afraid I couldn't figure out the zoom logistics on time, so it is in-person only.

  8. I was asked to review this paper last year for inclusion in the journal "Developmental Science" and agreed on the condition that I could share my review publicly, and they asked that I wait until the article had been published. It now has!

    Brilliant paper, give it a read if you're into #ColourVision!

  9. Super sad that I can't be at #VSS2023 (#visa issues), but do check out my poster - up this morning at Pavillion-451, being presented by my lovely co-authors ❤️

  10. This two-year-old Steve Mould video has a title that’s almost the opposite of clickbait

    The revelation about the light-sensitivity of the cones in our retinas came as a complete surprise to me 🤯

    How have I gone round the sun this many times without knowing the truth about *violet*?! 🌈💜
