Researchers have taken an important step towards understanding how the human brain 'decodes' letters on a page to read a word. The work will help psychologists unravel the subtle thinking  mechanisms involved in reading, and could provide solutions for helping people who find it difficult to read, for example in conditions such as dyslexia.

F%k It Friday: Art

I never went into an art museum until I was in college. I think that’s true. In my mind, I visited the Art Institute of Chicago as a child and high schooler. But in reality, I think I was outside of the old building. I’m not sure I ever went inside even though some of the famous images were always in my head.

But art wasn’t a priority. Art wasn’t real. Art was silly. There was no time.

If I had children, I would force them to appreciate ugly art. Uncomfortable art. Painting. Photography. Sculpture. Old and new. I would tell them — shut up for two seconds and then have an opinion.

That’s what I have to tell myself NOW and I’m 38.

But at least I came to art. Finally. And I am thankful that I can walk into an exhibition in London and now see a line of sight to a picture I love in Chicago.

Defining HR Excellence

Posted: 14 Mar 2013 03:45 AM PDT

lich-blogHow do you know if you are doing a good job in HR?

  • HR consultants will say — you are doing a good job in HR if your company is profitable, your revenues are growing and your human capital costs are contained.
  • Traditional HR folks will say — you know you’re doing your job in HR if employee engagement is strong and people feel valued and respected. Turnover is low.
  • Employment lawyers will say — risk is contained and everyone is in compliance.

What’s the measure of success for HR? Is there a standard? Does it differ from organization to organization?

More importantly, how do you define excellence? And how do you get your constituencies (clients, executives, employees, etc.) to want more?

Swarm intelligence: New collective properties of swarm dynamics uncovered

Posted: 15 Mar 2013 06:59 AM PDT

A new study of animal swarms uncovers some new features of their collective behavior when overcrowding sets in. Swarming is the spontaneous organized motion of a large number of individuals. It is observed at all scales, from bacterial colonies, slime molds and groups of insects to shoals of fish, flocks of birds and animal herds. Now physicists have uncovered new collective properties of swarm dynamics.
