Michael Carter award

The Michael Carter Award winners were Steve Lewton and Clay Ogden.[2]

gollark: You would probably maybe cope if it was done from birth, lots of brain things like this are very plastic.
gollark: I thought that was mostly the cornea? De-cornea-ed people, IIRC, can see a bit into UV.
gollark: Again, this is probably easier to do technologically.
gollark: Yes, but only for 22μs.
gollark: Any advice on making *useful* supersoldiers would be appreciated for my ~~evil world domination program~~ world optimization program™, since nobody seems to want to *elect* me as supreme world dictator for life.
