Colour Research Society of Canada

Last call to all Colour Research Society of Canada’s members. A reminder to register for CRSC Members' Night where we will be discussing Kai Kupferschmidt’s book Blue: In Search of Nature's Rarest Color. December 11, 2024 - 7-8pm ET. Registration 👉 https://lnkd.in/gMUWqsnh “Whether it’s deep underground where blue crystals grow or miles overhead where astronauts gaze down at our “blue marble” planet, wherever we do find Earth’s rarest color, it always has a story to tell.” Science journalist Kai Kupferschmidt has been fascinated by blue since childhood. In this book, his quest to understand the science and nature of his favorite color takes him from a biotech laboratory in Japan and a volcanic lake in Oregon to Brandenburg, Germany— home of the last surviving blue-feathered Spix’s macaws. Available at major bookstores and your local library. #bluecolor #blue #colorresearch #membersnight
