Congratulations to @mads100tist.bsky.social on his Trainee Science Communication Award!! This is so well-deserved! #2025ICDB @socdevbio.bsky.social

PSA: around 5-8% of the population has a color vision impairment for red/green.

Many talks at #2025ICDB still use red-green LUTs on slides that are not accessible to everyone.

Changing to more accessible colors is doable and easy.

We can do better.
