    Colour Blindness

     

    Colours M@tter a lot to us all. They brighten up our days and put a smile on our face. Unfortunately, sometimes people are colour deficient or else may not be able to distinguish certain hues. During this series, our team will be evaluating the subject in a fun and friendly manner, publishing episodes each week.

    Meeting both the team and the theme!

     

    Introducing the deficiency...

    Let's talk GENETICS!

     

    Are there any advantages to being colour-blind? Can the disease be cured? 

    Sadly our series has come to any end. Our team has enjoyed working together whilst learning new material! Thanks for tuning in! :)

    Well Done Rebecca, Rachel, Sarah and Francesca...Excellent research, filming and editting :) Keep up the good work!
