Annual Vision Science Meeting:
Palmer Lecture and CRSltd Sponsored Lecture
Institue of Ophthalmology, London

Wednesday 6 January 2010

Despite snow, ice and the big freeze, there was an enthusiastic audience for the traditional January meeting.  This year it was organised by
Sophie Wuerger aided by Andrew Stockman at the Institute in Bath Street.

Before lunch, the Palmer Lecture was given by Prof Don McLeod (University of California, San Diego) entitled Are There Phenomenal Complementaries?   On the left he is in full flow, below left he and morning chairman Prof Andrew Stockman consider an interesting question from the floor.  Below right the Colour Group Vice Chairman, Prof Lindsay MacDonald, presents Prof McLeod with the Palmer Certificate.

John Mollon
LEFT: After lunch the CRSltd sponsored lecture was given by Prof John Mollon (Cambridge) and though the title was deceptively simple - Telling Colours Apart - the content was profound.




BELOW: Laptops the World over never seem to connect smoothly with the projector but two brains are invariably better than one - and the pictures soon appeared.
