Columnist Violet Blue explains that "In consideration of all the early (and sometimes breaking) coverage I did of Google+'s bad behavior, some might expect me to take pleasure in the demise of the social network.

Though they don't look like eyeballs, the "organoid" retinas built from stem cells grow in much the same way as our own orbs. By using CRISPR to manipulate thyroid hormone levels, they shut off growth of green- and red-detecting cells. Their findings help confirm theories about how color vision development is affected in the womb and why pre-term babies, who don't get as much thyroid hormone, have higher rates of vision disorders.
