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 2024 edition:

I will be adding a new seminar: "Colour in Informatics" to the programme.

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 😅
Thrilled for the start of #ICVS2024! (International Colour Vision Society Meeting)
Ensuring #maps are #accessible for everyone means testing what someone with #ColourVision deficiency will see. #qgis preview allows this. The screenshots below contrast what someone with #deuteranopia or #protanopia will see compared with the full colour #image
A brilliant tool for selecting the most appropriate combination of colours.

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
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.

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!

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 ❤️
"Working memory and the source of color categories in macaques"
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*?! 🌈💜
