Avis aux Iséroises et Isérois : exposition sur Déodat Gratet de Dolomieu les 3–4 et 10–11 octobre prochains, à… Dolomieu, son village natal. Ce géologue et volcanologue a donné son nom à la roche dolomie, au principal cratère du Piton de la Fournaise, et surtout au massif italien des Dolomites. Cette exposition, conçue en Sicile en 2024 et désormais adaptée en français, retrace la vie aventureuse du savant et ses découvertes scientifiques à travers 34 panneaux richement illustrés (gravures, cartes…). Elle s’inscrit dans un projet plus vaste, qui vise à terme à créer un « espace Déolomieu » au sein du village. Bref, ça a l’air chouette ! Mon seul regret, que je n’ai pas manqué de notifier aux organisateurs : une affiche blindée de slop IAg, plutôt que de faire bosser un artiste, ou tout simplement de piocher dans la vaste iconographie d’époque… Je vous la partage quand même, attention les yeux.

Simia to Homo: from C. F. Hoppe's Anthropomorpha (1760)
"As for me, I am still uncertain, by what characteristic mark the troglodytes can be distinguished from man, according to the principles of natural history"

He shot them with fine shot to spare the feathers, ran wires through the bodies, posed the wings mid-lunge, then often ate the model. Snowy owl, not indelicate. Bald eagle, like veal. John James Audubon, taxidermist of the sublime.

The Paradoxa from the Systema natura by Linnaeus (1735)
The Paradoxa are the various species Linnaeus did not include in his Systema Natura because he judged them to be either fabulous, the result of mistaken observations by travelers or, as in the case of the Hamburg hydra, simply fraudulent.

A leading historian of science just sent me this pic, with QUEER ORIGINS nestled among some of the most respected books about Darwin. It's a huge compliment — I'm quite emotional! 😊
Now that it's published in the UK, Canada, and the US, do please send me photos if you spot the book out 'in the wild' . . . 🏳️🌈 📚 🦋

He entered Oxford at twelve, coined "international," and spent six decades redesigning civilization. He spent sixty-three years on his body's afterlife. UCL still wheels him into meetings. The minutes list him as present but not voting.

I’m really not sure about these two oddballs in this #MinCup26 matchup. Putnisite: pleochroism, unrelated to other mineralogical families, translucent purple. Hafnon is like zircon but with hafnium instead of zirconium.
I’m leaning towards Hafnon for the hafnium, an element predicted by Mendeleev!
Vote for your preferred mineral here: https://www.mineralcup.org/2026/vote-results/vote-r1m09
I bet the vote will go the other way what with the “ooh, purple!” voting block this year. 😂

08-Sep: On this day in 1832, Charles Darwin observed gauchos using bolas. He later tried them out for himself, and managed to ensnare his own horse in the process… https://friendsofdarwin.com/articles/darwin-encounters-bolas/

A gorgeous, lyrical essay by @[email protected]. If you're interested in literature, the history of science and technology, whales, or - of course - #StarTrek - you might love it, as I do.

He set out honey for cold bees, moved worms off the road, and asked a red-hot cautery iron to be courteous before it touched his face. Then, in 1220, Francis of Assisi walked out alone to negotiate with the wolf eating the town of Gubbio.

Happy birthday to #physicist Harriet Brooks (1876 - 1933) who discovered atomic recoil, Radon & recognized radioactive elements could undergo chains of transmutations into a series of new elements. #nuclear #physics
She was Rutherford’s 1st grad student at McGill. After publishing her results in 1899 she completed her MSc in 1901 on “Damping of Electrical Oscillations,” before embarking on #radioactivity research.🧵 -
Happy birthday #physicist Chien-shiung Wu (1912-1997), who came up with a truly beautiful experiment to test whether the weak force conserves parity (whether beta decay would be the same if reflected in the mirror)! In my print on the left I show Wu in her lab & a schematic diagram of her experiment. On the right I show her reflection, as in the mirror, & the mirror reflection of 🧵

Happy birthday to British #engineer, #mathematician, #physicist & #inventor Hertha Ayrton (1854-1923). I’ve shown her in my #linocut with a diagram of the dividers from her 1st of 26 (!) patents, one of her diagrams about the origin & growth of ripple marks & one of her diagrams of an electric arc lamp (a subject on which she literally wrote the textbook).

Born on this day: #physicist J. R. Oppenheimer (1904-1967). While best remembered for his role in the Manhattan Project, he was a giant of 20th century theoretical physics, nominated for a Nobel 3 times.
In 1927 he & Max Born greatly simplified how we predict electrons behaviour within atoms. The Born-Oppenheimer or adiabatic approximation is based on the observation that electrons are 1000s times lighter than 🧵 -
🔴 **Born On This Day**
Mathematician, astronomer, and physicist Pierre-Simon Laplace was born in Beaumont-en-Auge, Normandy, France on this day in 1749.
“_He proved the stability of the solar system. In analysis Laplace introduced the potential function and Laplace coefficients. He also put the theory of mathematical probability on a sound footing.”
