The Palmer Lecture
 |
Every year
in January at the Colour
Group's meeting on colour visual
science, a distinguished vision expert is invited to deliver the Palmer
Lecture. The lecturer is presented with an illuminated certificate - that for 2008 is shown on the right. A brief biography of David Palmer is here. |
