Happy #WhoopingCraneDay!
Here is “The Hooping Crane” in George Edwards’ A Natural History of Birds Pt. 3, 1750.
Yes, he illustrated it perching on an enlarged side view of its own giant beak. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

In case you haven't realized / I haven't said: I'm making 10 full solar systems, which will (hopefully) be for sale via my website in Jul/Aug. 🌏🪐

I might also offer preorders for individual planets if you're just after specific ones.

AND I'm planning to write up a tutorial for a couple of planets for the DIYers amongst you👍 #needlefelting #sciart #scicrafts

Saturn is busting my butt! After many prototypes, I'm now happy with this version, but It's by far the slowest planet to make. Zero chance I'll have these available to sell by the end of June (as I'd hoped). #needlefelting #crafts #sciart #scicrafts #space #saturn

I'm really enjoying this simple fractal pattern, and decided to try it out on fine watercolor paper.

Ah! I finally found it. It's there, but hidden. Took me a while to find it.

Not a good sign.

If you know a #SciArt community member who would like to join us here, please let me know.

Question: has twitter gotten rid of community groups altogether, or just hidden them?

Last time I checked in there, the #SciArt community group was still active. But not seeing a trace of it today.

Taking that simple fractal to another degree in today's #inkyDays drawing. I liked it so much I decided to do a bigger one on fine watercolor paper.

Here's the one I drew in my sketchbook.

Maybe it starts with a low-energy feeling, or maybe you’re getting a little cranky. You might have a headache or difficulty concentrating. Your brain is sending you a message: You’re hungry. Find food.

Sound familiar?

Studies in mice have pinpointed a cluster of cells called AgRP neurons near the underside of the brain that may create this unpleasant hungry, even “hangry,” feeling.

Happy birthday to #paleontologist Mary Anning (1799 – 1847)! She was the wrong class, sex & religious denomination to gain the education, opportunity to work & communicate her results or garner any respect as a pioneering paleontologist. Further, during her lifetime many thought the Earth was a mere few 1000 years old, based on a very literal interpretation of the Bible & found the idea of extinction did not fit in with the story of creation.

Here’s one of my prints, one of a series of related prints about leaf cutter bees, each unique. These prints are both about, and a sort of collaboration with leaf cutter bees! These small, but multifarious native bees are important pollinators, who make nests for their babies using small telltale half-moon pieces they cut from leaves and petals.

Cecilia Payne-Gaposchkin, who revolutionized our understanding of what stars & the Universe are made of, was born #OTD in 1900.

In 1926, she wrote what is considered the "undoubtedly most brilliant PhD thesis ever written in astronomy".

She continued in the same spirit - only to be denied a professorship (or even the a proper astronomer position). She finally became a professor at Harvard at 1956(!) & first woman to chair a department.
