There's no news of #Modi's visit to the #US when you turn on #CNN on TV in India.

So I looked up #NBC online.

I had to scroll past 11 screens to find any news of Modi's visit.

#XiJinping, on the other hand, was on the first screen.

These are the first six screens.

Black mermaids? Let's talk. I'm a PhD Marine Biologist. (The Florida State University, 2001, PhD marine science - look me up on LinkedIn for details.)

TLDR - Professional marine biologist is 100% here for #blackmermaids. They are magical, powerful, inspiring figures. 1/7
Some people are saying that there can't be #blackmermaids because there isn't enough sunlight underwater to necessitate dark skin tones to protect an organism from UV damage to the skin.

EXCEPT... 2/7
Most fish from deep water where there is very little light are black, dark gray, or deep brown. A fair few night-time and midwater fish are red because red wavelengths are rapidly attenuated in the water and many fish can't see them. Bright red = camouflage. 3/7 #blackmermaids
