Neon Pervasian

The return of neon fashion and simultaneous integration of fluorescent interiors

Implications - Neon is coming back as one of the hottest fashions for daring dressers, a sharp contrast to the dull greys on the other end of the style spectrum. It’s also debuting in untraditional places like fluorescent animals. The neon fad reflects a strong desire to be noticed and to stand out.

  2. Glow-in-the-dark Animals — Glow-in-the-dark animals using genetically modified florescent protein as a way to study pollutants in fish and water without harming the ecosystem
