Happy to see the article I co-authored “Reading English-language haiku: An eye-movement study of the ‘cut effect’” is now available in JEMR (Journal of Eye Movement Research).
The current study, set within the larger enterprise of Neuro-Cognitive Poetics, was designed to examine how readers deal with the ‘cut’ – a more or less sharp semantic-conceptual break – in normative, three-line…

Today I researched the flight of bees and discovered when they fly they constantly move up and down. I read an old guardian article on the flight of bees and it states that it takes a great amount of strength for a bee to keep on flapping its wings, and only in 2006 did scientists discover why bee's fly they way they do. The article said
"The flight of the humble honeybee was once so baffling that mathematicians famously concluded it was impossible. But using high-speed cameras and a scale model robot scientists have at last worked out the secret that helps bees stay aloft.
Most flying insects flap their wings using long, sweeping strokes, but honeybees take a less efficient approach. Even though it is a less stable way to fly, honeybees flap their wings more furiously and with a shorter stroke than other insects, producing just enough force to lift their bodies. The scientists believe bees developed the unusual style to cope with the varying demands they face during flight. When foraging for nectar, they are at their lightest, but when laden with pollen, or carrying larvae, they can weigh twice as much. By switching from rapid, short wingbeats to longer beats, bees can vary their lifting power considerably."
When I emailed the author, he said he wished he could've help the bee before she died. I liked the way he noticed the bee was a she, when realistically most wouldn't notice, and say the pronoun 'he'. My interpretation of what he said led to my type designs. By recognising the bee was a female he could've viewed the bee as more fragile or elegant. I feel he wrote 'she' to suggest the beauty in this situation. I know I keep on mentioning the fact he said the bee was a she, but I feel like the intricate detail of the author should be reflected in the typeface I'm creating.
