Another dubious entry for #SciArtSeptember Day 1: Fluid

Water drew this irregular yellow squares. I think photographing natural processes, to bring attention to them, can be #SciArt

What happened here is that everything was covered in pollen, then it rained and watter puddles formed in the slightly concave tiles. The floating pollen in the puddles was slowly deposited on the tiles as water evaporated, registering the movement of the fluid.

Photo of orange square ceramic tiles, creating a centered grid on the image. On top of each tile, a few centimeters in and aligned with the borders, there are rough yellow lines, aprox 1 cm wide, forming organic looking squares, some more irregular than others. That's what's made of pollen.

Happy birthday to pharmaceutical #chemist Alice Ball (1892-1916) who developed 1st effective treatment for #leprosy. Though her life was cut tragically short, her research saved 1000s from exile & painful, ineffective lifelong treatment for leprosy, & she was a trailblazer for both women & Black scientists.⁠
⁠
Ball studied #chemistry at UW earning a BSc & 2nd degree in pharmacy 2 years later. She published “Benzoylations in Ether

My linocut portrait of pharmaceutical chemist Alice Ball, a young Black woman in a lab coat, printed in indigo. Below her is the chemical reaction for Ball’s Process in violet. Above and around her is a branch of chalmoogra with green leaves and yellow fruit.

Happy birthday to Russian #mathematician & writer Sofia Vasilyevna Kovalevski (1850-1891). Her contributions to analysis, differential equations & mechanics include Cauchy-Kovalevski theorem & the famed Kovalevski top. She was 1st woman appointed to full prof in N Europe or to serve as editor of a major sci journal. She is also remembered for her contributions to Russian literature. All of this despite living when women were still barred from attending 🧵

My linocut portrait of Sofia Kovalevski in burgundy surrounded by Saturn and a diagram about the rotation of irregular solids in gold ink. She’s wearing a dress with puffed sleeves over a floral embroidered blouse. Her hair is up, her arms are folded in front of her and she looks thoughtfully to the side.
