How do you diagnose a #failure? Start by looking at the cause & context in which the failure occurs
If your failure took place in a novel context and stemmed from well-researched experimentation, it's likely an #IntelligentFailure!

I always find deep sea fish eyes and how they see, so fascinating 👀
Lots of deep-sea fish have special ocular adaptations called a tapetum lucidum.
This reflective layer of tissue behind the retina bounces light back through the retina a second time to improve their vision in the dark.
Cats have them too! Have you ever seen their eyes shine in the dark?
