Toujours sur les météorites, une bourse de thèse est proposée !
"Quatre axes de travail, dont la particularité est d’être chacun fondés sur une « facette » de la météorite d’Ensisheim, permettront de répondre de manière croisée aux grandes questions de départ :
1. Des pierres tombées du ciel ;
2. Collecter et collectionner le vivant ;
3. Genèses minérales ;
4. Une histoire graphique de la Terre."
à faire circuler ! Ce n'est pas tous les jours qu'on peut faire une thèse en collaboration Centre Chastel - Muséum d'histoire Naturelle - IMPMC !

Happy birthday to botanist & photography trailblazer Anna Atkins (1799-1871), née Children!

Atkins’ mother died when she was still an infant, but she was close with her naturalist father & received a much more scientific education than was common for women in her time. Her 250 detailed engravings of shells were used to illustrate her father’s translation of Lamarck’s ‘Genera of Shells’; 🧵1/n

Happy birthday to Caroline Herschel (1750 – 1848) a trail blazing woman in #astronomy. Hers was a real life Cinderella story, where rather than marrying a prince, she made a life and career for herself. Marriage her expected role but she was deemed unmarriageable, since a childhood bout of typhus stunted her growth. Her mother thought she should train to be a servant, & purposely stood in the way of her learning French, or music,🧵

✨ Hello there ! 😊
Aujourd'hui le Méloé printanier ! Un insecte de la famille des coléoptères, dont les larves se développent en parasitant les colonies d' hyménoptères...
✨ Ici il s'agit d'une femelle, avec l'abdomen plus gros que celui du mâle !
✨ Connaissez-vous cet insecte ? 🥸

A kaleidoscope of butterflies for #WorldButterflyDay. It’s also #PiDay so I feel this the symmetries of this print which I laid out with a compass and some geometric tricks, seems apt.

There are three each of the orange Isabella’s Longwings (Nymphalidae Eueides isabella), three yellow Eastern tiger swallowtails (Papilio glaucus), and three blue Red-Spotted Purples (Limenitis arthemis astyanax) in this #linocut kaleidoscope.⠀

My 25 years of palaeoart chronology...

Some zooms into my "Primeval Clevedon Bay" painting (2022), depicting fish, crinoids, othrocones, corals, gastropods, and brachiopods in an Early Carboniferous shallow sea. This painting was the first winner of the Marsh Palaeoart Award.

Mercury, final prompt for #printerSolstice2425, made me think of #alchemy. It is an element the alchemists favoured & felt was fundamental in their efforts to transmute base into precious metals, both in western & Chinese alchemy (from whence western alchemy emerged).

This is my #linocut portrait of an #alchemist known as Master Geng (before ~975, 耿先生; Gěng Xiānshēng, sometimes Kêng Hsien-shêng). 🧵1/n

My 25 years of palaeoart chronology...

Here's a second painting of the Severn Estuary, this time during the Early Carboniferous. Called "Primeval Clevedon Bay," it features fish, crinoids, othrocones, corals, gastropods, and brachiopods. This painting was the first winner of the Marsh Palaeoart Award.
