  1. Happy #ValentinesDay! 🐌❤️🐌

    Delightful, if fanciful, depiction of garden snails exchanging love darts. By English artist Frederick Polydore Nodder and published in the Naturalist’s Miscellany in 1790. [The darts don’t propel through the air as the image depicts but are fired on contact.]

  2. Happy birthday Rosalind Franklin (1920 – 1958), #chemist & x-ray #crystallographer whose x-ray diffraction images were instrumental to discovering double-helix structure of #DNA, made important contributions to #carbon & #virus research, was 1 of the great scientists of the 20th century.⁠

    Watson’s bio lead some to (inaccurately) joke, “What did Watson and Crick discover?” “Rosalind Franklin’s notes.” 🧵

  7. Some of his findings are subtly alluded to in the layout of the pea flowers, like a Punnett square depicting a cross between two pea plants heterozygous for purple and white blossoms.

    *He had initially set out to study the rules determining plant hybrids but was able to later reinterpret his data to look at heredity with a species.

  8. Happy birthday to Wilhem Röntgen (1845-1923), the German physicist who discovered x-rays and earned the Nobel Prize for physics in 1901. I’ve depicted him in this thermochromic portrait at work, studying this mysterious, newly discovered, invisible form of light, based on a photograph of him in his lab, using a Crookes tube to produce x-rays. The form of the print mimics the nature of his discovery -
