I still haven’t had much chance to carve this year, or catch up with the #PrinterSolstice prompts, so until I can, here’s a carbon-themed print from my portfolio: Millie Dresselhaus (née Spiewak; November 11, 1930 – February 20, 2017). She was a professor of physics and electrical engineering at MIT, known as the Queen of Carbon Science.

Happy birthday to Millie Dresselhaus (née Spiewak; November 11, 1930 – February 20, 2017). She was a professor of physics and electrical engineering at MIT, known as the Queen of Carbon Science.
In this linocut I've shown her in front of a carbon nanotube. She was recognized for her work on graphite, graphite intercalation compounds, fullerenes (a form of carbon known as buckyballs, 🧵1/n
