But don't count on having perfect night vision from this technology just yet. 🧪

Special contact lenses let you see infrared light – even in the dark
Nanoparticle-infused contact lenses can transform infrared radiation into different colours of visible light, potentially enabling a new form of night vision – no batteries required

We’re still learning about the steep cuts to CDC, but I want to focus on the particularly dangerous and misguided elimination of CDC’s tobacco control program. If it’s not reversed, this would have devastating consequences and put American lives at risk.
