    Get a taste of some of the great research happening in Milwaukee during our monthly Lunch & Lecture presentations. Take an optional guided pre-lecture docent tour, explore the topic du jour with an MPM curator or special guest, and if you’re hungry for more, stay for a great lunch.

This talk offers an overview of how visual systems work in general, and then specifically examines color vision in fish. Since fish often live in light-limited habitats, they offer a fascinating glimpse of how evolution has dealt with challenges to the visual system.
