RSE Midlands 2026

Mon, April 20, 2026

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...)
