Here's a cool idea: pick a color palette for your website by sampling photomicrographs. There are some nice color samples there; I think I'd go with something along the lines of a DIC image of a zebrafish embryo, which would have lots of blues, a few weakly saturated yellows, and an occasional flare of gold from the birefringence. Time for a site redesign! If I had any time, that is.

In addition to doing vertex and face colorings of a graph, you can also do edge colorings. In an edge coloring, no two edges which are incident on the same vertex can share the same color.
All of you are probably familiar with color opponency, but just in case, I'll give you a quick refresher. I'll even start with the history. In the 19th century, there were two competing theories of color vision.
Adults have been found cross-culturally to prefer blue to other colors. It's a nearly universal preference. But does this preference occur naturally, or do children and infants have different preferences? Prior to 2001, there wasn't a definitive answer to this question.
Yep - this place is a bit dingy and smells of elderberries - time to freshen it up!
You need to change your photo, too.
Use the one w/the naked mole rat - you don't look so old in that one - more distinguished.
Yeah, but here's what's going to happen: people are going to start scanning all those horrid false-color scanning EM micropics in the textbooks and think they're extracting "natural" colors that were just photoshopped in in the first place.
I hate those things. Let me see the original beautiful grayscale image damnit!
