We can't alter our vision depending on the colour of light around us, but fish can, & now scientists from @NotreDame reveal that fish fine tune their vision throughout life as the colour of the light changes, also depending on their lifestyle and diet

This is crazy (1 year 6 months). The wait time for #work-visa used to be 6 weeks for US workers coming to #Canada. Sadly bad news for #post-docs.
