A place for majestic STEMLORD peacocking, as well as memes about the realities of working in a lab.
Rules
This is a science community. We use the Dawkins definition of meme.
I hate that it invalidates this episode of radiolab, which is, without a doubt, a masterpiece of podcasting:

i saved the video at the 13 minute mark where they do the audio representation of the vivid colors. still worth a watch/listen
Blue blue green greeeeeeeeeeennnnn
super super ultravioleeeeet
I don't think of it as drama so much as docucomedy.
This is really cool, but it's also over a decade old info. I remember growing up in awe of Mantis shrimp and then, as with all wonder, this was removed from my life in adulthood. :)
Disappointed. But didn't the have receptors for differently polarized light? What about that?
Color me appointed, at least we're not missing out on fresh new colors!
Polarization filters on retinal photoreceptor won't make light wavelength (color) be perceived different, it just changes the conditions in which it's detected. If those polarized cells would cover unique colors compared to the rest, it would kinda resemble the highlight effect in Mirror's Edge, where something with a different angle than the surroundings stand out (sudden color gradient)
I... must... be... strong... must... not... do... it... must... resist... the urge...
