Vision twitter! I'm looking for a zoom guest lecturer to discuss *color vision in animals* for this class. Are dogs colorblind? What's the deal with mantis shrimp? etc! Can offer eager undergrads who will ask lots of questions and an honorarium. DM for more info! RTs appreciated!

Yikes. Could no one writing this headline have paused to ask “I wonder what else might correspond with having hours and hours to play video games, and how those other things might affect well being?”

[The Economist Data Team @ECONdailycharts]

There is a lack of robust evidence for many of the supposed harmful effects of video games, according to a new study https://t.co/P04Fq3w8Ba
