🌟Published an article on Harvard's rObObee, complete with a drawing by me. Bee-cause, why not?

A black-and-white comic shows three RoboBees, small flying robots with wings and antennas. One RoboBee is perched on a plant, quoting Shakespeare: "To be or not to be, that is the question." Another RoboBee flies tilted, asking, "What's up with her?" A third RoboBee wobbles mid-air, whispers "existential crisis." The caption at the bottom reads: "FACT: RoboBees have a light-sensitive sensor to keep them upright."
