Launch Fishers transitions to new leadership team after founder steps away By Anna Skinner anna@youarecurrent.com Launch Fishers, a coworking space in Fishers, didn’t have to look far for a new leader. BUSINESS David Bolling, formerly the vice president of finance for Launch Fishers, will become the organization’s executive director July 1. John Wechsler, the company’s founder and CEO, is stepping down from the role to pursue other business opportunities. He will remain on the board of directors, but Bolling will oversee day-to-day operations. Moving forward, the Launch Fishers leadership team will consist of Bolling, IoT Lab Executive Director Jason Pennington and Rachel Drake. IoT stands for “internet of things.” Pennington will continue to oversee IoT Lab operations and Drake will remain in her role in marketing and communications. Bolling expects the transition to be seamless. “I’ve been with (Wechsler) for 20 years, so it’s an entrepreneurial journey on how I’ve gotten here,” he said. Bolling’s background is in accounting and finance. He will continue as Launch Fishers’ CFO in addition to being the executive director. Pennington will continue in his role at the IoT Lab. Bolling and Pennington will join efforts to secure grant funding from the state and the Indiana Economic Development Corp. to spread the Launch Fishers and IoT message regionally and statewide. Bolling said Launch Fishers also plans to focus on coworking strategies to promote entrepreneurism across the state. “We are trying to outreach to small communities to try to find those entrepreneurs that may not know how to get to a local coworking facility,” Bolling said. “We can outreach to all these communities to showcase the things we have and our collective knowledge around the state.” Pennington echoed the sentiment. “We have some good assets, and now we want to essentially amplify those assets to the state,” Pennington said. Other projects include reintroducing the Launch Fishers High School Fellowship Program, which took a two-year hiatus because of the COVID-19 pandemic. The program provides high school students in the Fishers area an opportunity to learn more about entrepreneurship while working for

an actual business. “That is our program to get high school students in Fishers connected and working for local companies get them out and involved and get them experience in entrepreneurship,” Bolling said. “We are looking for students at Hamilton Southeastern and Fishers High School, and we give them an opportunity to get connected for companies here at the IoT Lab or Launch Fishers or here in our city and give them experience on what it is to be an entrepreneurial company.” Planning for Fail Fest is also in the works. Previously, Fail Fest was a one-day festival illustrating the role failure plays in innovation. Drake said Fail Fest might return in a multiday format. In the meantime, Pennington said he expects the Launch Fishers leadership transition to go smoothly. “With any transition, one of the first

things to do is manage the change well,” Pennington said. “Fortunately, in our case, we had a year to plan for some sense of succession with John (Wechsler) and his decision. It didn’t happen overnight.” Bolling said he wants Launch Fishers to continue to be of service to anyone starting their business or who wants to own a business. “There are so many opportunities for us to help them, whether that’s just to be a connector and understand what their aspirations are, or they could be someone who just wants to run a business for themselves or have aspiration to grow and we can take them down that journey,” Bolling said. “I think for us, that’s what we’re here for. That is, getting them started within our two facilities, provide them the space and the flexibility to do that.” For more, visit launchfishers.com.

As its name implies, the game of golf is the centerpiece of Wood Wind Golf Course. But it’s not the only attracGROWTH tion at the public course at 2302 W. 161st St., Westfield. Cohoat & O’Neal Management COO Colin O’Neal wants members to know there’s more to Wood Wind than golf. Recent additions to the course include a beer garden, pickleball courts, live Colin O’Neal music and a pavilion. Colin O’Neal said most of the changes were made because of new neighborhoods surrounding the golf course. Cohoat & O’Neal Management manages the public golf course. Four neighborhoods are part of the Wood Wind HOA: Wood Wind North, Wood Wind South, Westchester and Bent Creek. “A lot of this was generated because there was development around the golf course,” Colin O’Neal said. “Because of those neighborhoods being developed, the golf course owner Matt Cohoat felt it was a great idea to provide them more of an outlet to become involved at the club or use this golf course as a community asset.” The beer garden, sponsored by Oasis Outdoor Living and Landscape, opened in 2021 and has fire pits and lawn games such as giant Jenga and Connect 4. Because of the amenities, Colin O’Neal said the course often hosts corporate retreats. Two pickleball courts west of the clubhouse opened in spring 2021. “The pickleball and the beer garden and

the pavilion cover the social aspect in regards to we’re more than a golf club,” Colin O’Neal said. “Internally, with those resources we are able to generate things like a pickleball league in the summer and fall. You don’t have to be an annual or social member.” The four neighborhoods in Wood Wind’s HOA incorporate membership dues into the HOA dues, but social memberships are available as well. O’Neal said Wood Wind Golf Course is Westfield’s only public golf course. Besides the new amenities, Wood Wind Golf Doc O’Neal Course also features four new holes on the 18-hole course. Hole Nos. 8 and 9 opened last year. They are the only two holes north of the main clubhouse. The other two holes, Nos. 5 and 17, are par 4s. Colin O’Neal said No. 5 was shortened to make room for residential development and No. 17 was lengthened and changed from a par 3 to a par 4. “All the changes to golf course were a result of the development,” Cohoat & O’Neal Management Executive Vice President Doc O’Neal said. “There are 80 homes at Wood Wind North, 80 at Wood Wind South, and those two developments caused us to make some changes to the golf course.” Wood Wind North began construction three years ago and residents began moving in 18 months ago. Wood Wind South is still under construction. Doc O’Neal said when construction first started, more than 3,200 new homes were planned within 1 square mile of Wood Wind Golf Course.

ZCHS pitcher’s competitive fire translates into success By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com Zionsville Community High School senior right-hander Drew Dickson’s fastball has been clocked at 91 mph. However, speed is not the Northwestern University-bound pitcher’s biggest strength. “My biggest strength on the mound is probably a coin flip between the ability to spin breaking balls and my competitiveness,” Dickson said. “I was recruited heavily because of my ability to spin two distinct breaking pitches, a curveball and a slider, and command them very well. One thing that stands out is that the spin rate (revolutions per minute) is very high, around 3,000, which makes them break tighter and closer to the plate. My competitiveness is arguably more important, though. When the game gets bigger and pressure rises, so does my ability. “I have had a lot of success in big situations and leaving runners on in tight games. The mental toughness I have is what allows me to compete at a high level.” The 6-foot-3 Dickson said he has made

Dickson said it helps that the Eagles have an experienced and knowledgable pitching coach in Drew Storen, who pitched eight Major League Baseball seasons after a standout career at Brownsburg High School and Stanford University.

“(Storen) has helped me tremendously in the mental game of pitching, learning what to throw when, and where to throw it as well,” Dickson said. “I have also made some big strides in leadership. Last year, we had two vocal leaders and they both graduated, so it was my turn to step up and assume

that role, and the coaching staff has let me know how impactful my leadership has been.” As of May 10, Dickson had a 2-1 record with a 1.30 earned run average and 46 strikeouts in 31 innings. He was 7-0 with a 1.46 ERA in 2021. “He has a bulldog mentality on the mound,” Eagles coach Jered Moore said. “He’s probably one of the smartest baseball players I’ve ever coached.” Dickson said he tried to hit last season but didn’t have much success. “We had a pretty talented lineup last season, and I didn’t make the most of the few opportunities I got,” he said. “I am not hitting next year at Northwestern, so I felt it was more important to devote my time to pitching this year, so I didn’t work on hitting really at all until the midway point in our season. “ “Thankfully, it has helped quite a bit and I have gotten off to a pretty fast start.” As of May 10, Dickson was hitting .417. Dickson, who played three seasons for the Indiana Bulls travel team, plans to major in economics and minor in software engineering.

Football sectionals take on new look for Hamilton County schools By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com The Class 6A sectional football picture for area high schools will have a new look with the recent Indiana High IHSAA School Athletic Association’s realignment. Class 6A Sectional 4 will include Carmel, Zionsville, Westfield and Noblesville. Hamilton Southeastern and Fishers are now paired with Fort Wayne Northrop and Homestead in Sectional 3. Last year’s Sectional 4 included Westfield, Noblesville, HSE and Fishers. Zionsville was slated to move up from Class 5A because of the IHSAA success factor rule after finishing as the Class 5A state runner-up to Cathedral the past two seasons. However, Eagles coach Scott Turnquist said increased enrollment puts Zionsville in Class 6A, anyway. Zionsville is 25th among the Class 6A schools in enrollment (2,242 students in 2021-22) “Wherever you go in 6A, there is going to be tough teams, and certainly our sectional is no exception,” Turnquist said. “From top to bottom, those programs we’re going to be in competition with are as good as you

get in the state in every way, coaching, players and support. Everything about their programs is fantastic. It’s going to be a big challenge. It’s one we’re excited to take. We’ve kind of been in limbo the last few years (not knowing if the enrollment would cause a switch). It’s time to move forward with it and jump in with both feet.” Fishers coach Curt Funk said there was a chance his team and Hamilton Southeastern could be paired with some Ft. Wayne schools in the new alignment. “We figured with both schools’ location to I-69, it was a strong possibility,” Funk said. “No matter how you draw up the sectional, it is going to be tough in 6A, but we are excited for the challenges it brings.” Hamilton Southeastern coach Michael Kelly expected the move as well.

“We are excited about the possibility of playing someone new in the fall,” Kelly said. “Our focus is trying to get guys to buy into what’s important now and to not focus on the end of the season. I reminded them that this past year was our first (sectional title) in 6A. We don’t want to look too Hebert far down the road.” Class 6A was established for football in 2013 for the state’s largest schools. Carmel returns to the northern half of the Class 6A sectionals after having to go through the south sectionals for the past two seasons. “We are really focused on preparing ourselves for the playoffs the best way we can,”

“It’s going to be a big challenge. It’s one we’re excited to take.” – EAGLES COACH SCOTT TURNQUIST

said Carmel coach John Hebert, whose team played in Sectional 5 in 2021. “Looking at the new sectionals, I just see great challenges, just like if we are going south. In our sectional alone, you have two straight, two-time state runners-up in Zionsville and Westfield. That’s pretty remarkable. Whoever Gilbert makes it out of there will play a very tough team from Sectional 3.” Westfield coach Jake Gilbert said Sectional 4 will be highly competitive and entertaining. “Get your popcorn ready,” he said. Gilbert said the IHSAA had to move two Hamilton County teams north no matter what. He said it would be either HSE and Fishers or Westfield and Noblesville moving to Sectional 4. “We’ve won six sectionals in eight years,” Gilbert said. “We’ve got our work cut out for us for that to continue.” Lawrence North and Lawrence Central are in Class 6A Sectional 6 along with Cathedral, which moves up with the success factor rule.

Lawrence resident transforms life through theater By Anna Skinner anna@youarecurrent.com For Justin Wade, the theater has always been a refuge from life’s dark moments. The Lawrence resident began performing at Young Actors Theatre, now known as React, when his family moved to the Indianapolis area when he was in seventh grade. Today, Wade is React’s executive director. React is an Indianapolis-based theater designed for students in kindergarten through 12th grade. Wade, a self-acknowledged former “bad kid,” began taking acting lessons from founder Charlotte Kaufman, who died in 2008 at age 84. “The theater was a refuge from all my problems and so on,” said Wade, who experienced heroin addiction and homelessness in his 20s. “I was really deeply involved in theater and art my whole life.” Wade said early in his addiction, he worked at the theater, doing everything from operating lights to selling concessions. “(Kaufman) knew I had a bunch of problems but she still believed in me,” he said. “That’s where this whole thing started. I had two worlds going on at the same time.” Now 47, Wade is sober and continues Kaufman’s work at React. He began running the theater in 2005, and it became a full-time job in 2012. The company has grown from producing three plays a year and running on what Wade calls a “shoestring budget” to the larger organization it is today. Now, Wade wants to impart his knowledge and experience to young theater participants. “We have about 300 kids taking classes at any given moment from kindergarten through 12th grade,” Wade said. “We have a lot of really exciting things happening, but we are careful to not get in that ‘grow-to-grow’ mentality I think we see in a lot of places. We purposefully have a small team of theater practitioners who all specialize in nontraditional, nonmusical theater and education. Our team is very dedicated to working with students to have an experience that leads them to a higher level of confidence, creativity and discipline. “We are super excited about all kinds of breakthroughs we see happening in that every day.” One project Wade is particularly passionate about is “Love Over Dose,” a six-person play depicting two siblings who experience a tragedy and then struggle with coping mechanisms. “I always wanted to do a play about the opioid crisis because of my own personal experience,” Wade said. Wade said React specializes in social-issue plays, where participants research, rehearse and perform the play. “The kids in ‘Love Over Dose’ talked to a multitude of people involved in the opioid crises and put the play together,” Wade said. “The goal is for every kid in Indiana to see this

play. It’s a drug-awareness play. It’s an intense experience that pulls no punches and is done in a modern way. We’ve got to get this play to more kids.” “Love Over Dose” performances are set throughout this month, Wade said the play is available to high schools and junior high schools upon request. Wade’s wife, Georgeanna, wrote and directs the play. North Central High School senior Sidney Dixon portrays Alex, one of the main characters in ‘Love Over Dose.’ She plans to attend Loyola Marymount University in Los Angeles and major in acting. Dixon said performing at React has strengthened her confidence. “From when I was little, (performing) definitely helped my confidence immensely,” she said. “React has made me feel OK with who I am wherever I am. It’s really grown my personal confidence and my discipline in theater, and acting just gives you a source of energy and a source of creativity you can’t really get anywhere else. It lets you escape your mind.

“If something is going wrong in life or I’m upset at school or having a bad day, I can go into React and that all goes away because I’m playing someone else.” For more, visit reactkidz.org. ON THE COVER: Justin Wade is the executive director of React. (Photo courtesy of Jaytel)

ESSAY

HUMOR

I follow rewards

Plagued by bad timing

Commentary by Terry Anker

Commentary by Danielle Wilson

The emails flow in, demanding that we must act fast lest the benefits we earned by customer loyalty will expire. Do we intend to abandon our effort? Was it easy to stand in line at the favored merchant when there was no line at another? We’ve paid a few cents more to stay loyal to the vendor that incessantly reminds us of their appreciation of our commitment, so shouldn’t we reap the promised profit? Since the beginning of the human experience, we have come to know that it is good to have friends. In fact, it is imperative. Killing a mastodon by oneself is a bit more difficult than the almost impossible task of doing it in a group. So, shouldn’t our dedication to the people who fly our planes, make our pizzas, fit our shoes and prepare our deli sandwiches bring some reciprocal value? A Seinfeld episode, “The Strike,” explored our obsession with fully stamped loyalty cards as Elaine gives hers away accidentally and spends days attempting to regain it. Sure, a free pastrami on rye is good, but how good? Is its care and feeding of greater value than the card itself? Whether it is United’s PlusPoints or Microsoft’s Rewards, who is benefiting from the effort? How many of us have seen an incentive bestowed? How much do the providers really want us to be rewarded? Like some grotesque P.T. Barnum, they seem to gloat that there is a “sucker born every minute” and that they are only too happy to take advantage. Are we playing the fool? Set up like the adult version of a corrupt carnival game, they promise big and then fortify against paying out. A few giant stuffed animals are paraded around the fairgrounds to get people motivated, but can we win one ourselves?

Son of a biscuit. I have COVID-19. I know! I made it more than two years of the pandemic surrounded by germy teenagers with nary a sniffle and yet, here I am. Moaning and groaning on my couch, pounding Advil-Schwepps cocktails, and wondering what the heck happened. I’m vaccinated and boosted and, apart from my stupid shoulder and occasional incontinence, basically invincible. This wasn’t in my spring 2022 script! And now I’m missing all sorts of big stuff — my oldest’s graduation, my youngest’s prom and my 36th eighthgrade reunion, which I was super pumped about. We only graduated with 18 kids in our class, and most I haven’t seen since the late ’80s. Does Kelly still have bangs? What happened to Creighton and Jonathan and Jenny D? Who remembers the boys urinating on the side of the second-grade classroom that one day during recess? Good times. My quarantine is also occurring during the last month of school, which any educator will tell you are the absolute worst weeks to be gone. Final projects, make-up work and end-of-theyear paraphernalia don’t always proceed smoothly when I’m there, let alone with substitutes. Ugh! Who did this to me? Probably a student, but maybe someone from my scuba class. I was, after all, sharing respirator spit with a veritable stranger for several hours. Or more likely, it was the universe, recognizing that if I wasn’t going to clear my over-scheduled and anxiety-provoking May calendar, she certainly would. The mystery will probably never be solved, and I suppose in the end, it doesn’t really matter My name is Danielle, and I have COVID-19. Son of a biscuit. Peace out.

Stocks benefit from cancer test breakthroughs — Amid the race to develop coronavirus tests, vaccines and treatments, many investors might overlook another realm of impressive medical breakthroughs. Molecular diagnostic firms are developing innovative blood tests that can detect many forms of cancer, some even at the earliest stages before cancerous cells mass together. In the past five years, genomic blood testing has become a $6 billion-a-year market, mostly driven by tests such as “liquid biopsies” that allow patients with potentially cancerous tumors to avoid expensive and invasive surgery to remove sample tissue. Over the next decade, the diagnostics market is expected to soar to more than $50 billion annually as companies develop early-detection tests to screen asymptomatic patients for cancers. Three promising companies are: Exact Sciences (EXAS) had nearly $900 million in total revenues last year, mostly from two products -- Cologuard, an alternative to colonoscopies that screens stool samples for colon cancer, and Oncotype Dx, a genomic test that can predict which women with early-stage breast cancer will not benefit from chemotherapy. Guardant Health (GH) makes liquid biopsy kits that test for mutations in the tumors of advanced cancer patients to enable proper therapy selection. Natera (NTRA) tests monitor for relapses in breast and lung cancer and can identify recurrent tumors months before traditional methods such as CT scans. The company also is expanding its blood-test technology to predict whether organ-transplant recipients are likely to reject a new organ. Source: BottomLineInc

DISPATCHES Tea might reduce breast cancer risk — Making smart choices about your diet can go a long way toward lowering your risk of breast cancer. Now it looks like choosing the right beverage can also help. Women who sip green or oolong tea may be able to gain extra breast cancer protection, according to a study published in the journal Anticancer Research. Researchers at St. Louis University in Missouri, led by Chunfa Huang, Ph.D., an associate research professor in the department of internal medicine, tested extracts of various teas against several types of breast cancer cells. Huang included extracts from green, oolong, black and other dark teas. His results indicated that green and oolong teas could stop the growth of breast cancer cells; the two types of tea worked equally well against all the cell lines Huang tested. Black and other dark teas had no effect, he said. Source: Msn.com Walking for arthritis — Walking is so beneficial in fighting arthritis pain that it’s considered a natural medicine.

Chemisty helps Roughouse develop as a band By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com For Randy Schumacher, there is a reason why Roughouse clicks as a band. “We have great chemisMUSIC try and great friendships,” Schumacher said. “That’s really important to this band. When we went looking for a bass guitarist, it was important for find someone who fit it. The bass guitarist has changed a number of times. We had one bass guitarist who exploded in the middle of practice. We played the wrong song and he spontaneously combusted. He packed up his stuff and stormed out. The friendships and laughter (are) amazing.” Schumacher, an architect by day and guitarist by night, said he remembers a tipsy musician in the Slippery Noodle audience one night who said he liked the band because it played like a team. “He said it like three times,” said Schumacher, who previously lived in Noblesville but now lives in Carmel. “But he was right, we really do.” Drummer A.J. DeRose, who basically serves as a team manager, said the band started as a few friends jamming in his Noblesville basement, where it still practices. “We got to together and played some songs,” DeRose said. “We had some musicians rotating in and out. It was real loose. Somewhere along the way, we wanted to do more than play in a basement.” DeRose’s wife, Molly, was in another band but joined her husband’s band three years ago. From there, it took off. Molly’s sister, Emily Di Rosa, also a Noblesville resident, joined as a second vocalist. Emily and her husband, Matteo Di Rosa, opened Matteo’s Ristorante Italiano in 2003 in Noblesville. Kelli Ray Yates, a Carmel High School graduate who now lives in Noblesville, recently joined as a third vocalist. “We’ve ended up now with a solid lineup that I don’t think is going to change,” DeRose said. “There are times when we contract a little bit because of people’s travel schedules.” Jim Corner, an Indianapolis resident,

plays bass guitar. He said the band has fun but practices seriously. “All of us have interesting backgrounds,” DeRose said. “I played in several alternative rock and classic rock bands. We’re doing classical rock, but we also do bluesy stuff.” DeRose said Corner and Erik Harlow, a guitarist and Noblesville resident, also have backgrounds playing the blues. “It’s been catching on. A number of pieces on the classic rock side get people up dancing,” DeRose said. Molly and Emily have musical backgrounds having been in show choir at Pike High School in Indianapolis. “Our mom is a musician,” Molly said. “She used to write commercial jingles for TV and radio. We grew up around music and in the studio. We’ve been singing together forever.” Yates is a singer-songwriter who performed solo acoustic sets. “We asked Kelli to join a year ago and our voices blend well,” Molly said. “We all have jobs and families. We do this because we all love to do it. You make a little money, of course, but, for the most part, you

Roughouse will play July 7 at Dillion Park as part of the Thursday night concert series and will play July 22 at Daniel’s Vineyard’s concert series in McCordsville. “We have a private show at the Palladium (in Carmel) we’re excited about,” DeRose said. “We doubled the amount of shows we had on the books from last year. We do all covers. That’s the market and the target we’re going have. When folks want to hear a bar band, they want to hear their songs done well. We pick songs that feature our strengths and roll with it.” Schumacher said the band is earning respect. “We’re competing for gigs with bands that have been together eight or nine years,” Schumacher said. DeRose said the band will play at Federal Hill Commons in Noblesville for the third consecutive summer. For more, visit Roughouse Indy page on Facebook and Instagram.

Blueprint for Improvement: Luxurious bath update Commentary by Larry Greene

After

This stunning historic loft in the Old Northside neighborhood featured a primary bath without a bathtub — a must-have for these homeowners. We transformed the space, making room for a soaking tub and creating a tranquil retreat with updated style.

Before

THE BLUEPRINT • Distinct yet simple geometric patterns featuring a neutral palette create an impressive visual balance. • Chic champagne bronze finishes bring warmth that balances the cool vanity and tile tones. • Painted maple vanity cabinets and quartz countertops ensure durability. • The soaking tub and statement Moravian star light fixture create a beautiful focal point that draws in the eye.

You’ll flip over these words Commentary by Curtis Honeycutt

An exhibit inside the Falls of the Ohio State Park Interpretive Center. (Photo by Don Knebel)

A visit to Falls of the Ohio Commentary by Don Knebel Few places in the world allow visitors to observe the results of 390 million years of natural and human history. TRAVEL Falls of the Ohio State Park, about 112 miles south of Indianapolis in Clarksville, is such a place. About 390 million years ago, during the Devonian Period of geologic history, most of the continents were in the southern hemisphere. What is now Indiana was about 30 degrees south of the equator on Euramerica, much of it covered by a warm, shallow sea. During this period, a number of sea animals first came into existence. As these animals died, their remains fossilized in the seabed. As the tectonic plates gradually shifted, Euramerica moved north and eventually became Europe and North America. Starting a few million years ago, melting glaciers created the Ohio River from what had once been the Teays River system and exposed what had once been a Euramerica seabed north of the river. That seabed, along the bank of the Ohio River in Clarksville, includes the largest exposed body of Devonian fossils in the world. Scientists have identified about 600 species of sea animals in the fossil bed, including trilobites, an extinct arthropod, hinged-shelled brachiopods and crinoids resembling a starfish on a stalk. Today, the fossil bed is part of the Falls of the Ohio State Park. The park’s 3,000-square-foot interpretative center includes interactive exhibits telling the story of the fossil bed and the geologic and human history of the Ohio River basin. Visitors are encouraged to walk in the fossil bed and try to identify any fossils they find.

A fossil example at Falls of the Ohio State Park.

Fossil beds at Falls of the Ohio State Park.

Some extraordinary fossil examples are displayed at the entry to the interpretative center. Falls of the Ohio State Park also includes sites important to the American Revolution and the Lewis and Clark Expedition, which we will talk about next week.

If I started to tell you about something called “ambigram,” you might think it’s one of two things: Either a new graham cracker that doubles GRAMMAR GUY as a sleep aid or a new social media platform for people who can use both hands equally well. In fact, an ambigram is neither of those things. Let’s figure out what it is! Unlike a palindrome such as “racecar,” where the letters are the same if the word is reversed, an ambigram is a word that can be read as the same word from different angles. Other names used for ambigrams include vertical palindromes, designatures and inversions. For today’s lesson, I’d like to discuss my favorite type of ambigram, the “natural rotational” ambigram. For this to make sense, let’s start with an example. The word “dollop” (with a lowercase “d”) is a great example. If you rotate the word “dollop” 180 degrees, it reads “dollop.” That’s cool! What are some other natural rotational ambigrams?

As we’ll soon see, this depends on the typeface you’re using. But you’re smart enough to turn your head (or newspaper or computer monitor) around to make sense of these examples: pod, mow, swims, solos, passed, paled and seas. Pretty soon you’ll be dizzy from flipping words around in search of ambigrams. Do you want to turn some more words on their heads? A “symbiotogram” takes one word when written regularly and becomes a different word when turned at an angle. Again, today we’ll turn the words 180 degrees, which is the most common way people encounter symbiotograms. Let’s share some examples. Take the word “wow”: when you rotate it 180 degrees, it becomes “mom.” That’s a symbiotogram. Others include deal/leap, sail/lies, sled/pals, dooms/swoop and pies/said.
