Very sad to hear that Michael Kubovy passed away on 21 August 2025.

It is a great loss to perceptual science. His book "The Psychology of Perspective and Renaissance Art" remains unparalleled.

Very proud of my grad student David Yu who not only won the design competition for this year’s Vision Sciences Society website banner, but also the T-shirt design competition for the upcoming annual conference in St.Pete’s Beach Florida.
