Project wrap up
The data collection is complete, the A2 seems to be out of the test subjects systems (all readings on vision have returned to normal).We will now begin the process of writing up the project and the...

The A2 Regime is done, now what?
Subjects have made it through the A2 dosage period and are now being returned to normal diets :)We pushed really hard this last week to get as much data as possible. One of the things we were doing...

Initial Success!
Hi everyone! We have results!2 weeks into the A2 administration and we have ERG readings with excitation in the eye at 950nm :) This is really exciting news. We're hoping that by the next few week...

Hi Everyone!We are a few days into our modified VAD diet and other than some casual conversations about lusting about Reubens and cereal, things are going smoothly. Here are the updated BF% charts ...

How do Bobtail Squid choose their glowing bacterial partner?
View commentThis is something that we have discussed, and it's a hard question to answer. The mechanisms for utilizing A2 and for colour blindness are pretty different. To do this trick gentically, you would need to change the way our body processes vitaminA1 and make it less active than how we process A2. This would have ramifications on your entire body system. Alternatively you could make it so that the eyes specifically use A2 instead of any A analog they get. This would again, require a complete alteration of how the eye works. It's a toughy, but it is something we are interested in looking at.

Can we biologically extend the range of human vision into the near infrared?
View commentWe're hoping that there will be some changes in colour and light perception outside of the lab, but there's just no way to properly tell until we go a little while longer on this.
I think getting up into the 1070 range is when things might get interesting....

Can we biologically extend the range of human vision into the near infrared?
View commentThe Farnsworth Munsell scores are continuing to stay at a steady point, so there seems to be no noticeable colour sight loss.
All subjects are using a lot of sunscreen and trying to stay out of the light. We have all experienced an increase in nightblindness, but we don't have a really good way to quantify it at this point. Basically, we've all started tripping over stuff that was never an issue before, or having trouble reading in dim light.
Beyond that, everyone seems to have standard health. One subject is currently in Mexico and is suffering some of commonly associated illnesses that come with travel, but nothing that is connected with the diet.

View commentNo, you are totally right. Time travel has not happened. I totally put in the wrong date when making the graph. Sorry :( I would change it, but somehow, changing the posts here don't allow me to save edits... :/

View commentThank you so much for your support. We find your projects totally interesting; I believe you are already talking with Peyton. I hope our research can help you with your research and vice versa.
