I spent Saturday to Monday participating in a race to reach a bunch of locations around Belgium, Netherlands and Luxembourg using only public transport. I came in 11th (or joint 6th by points), had like 3 hours sleep and it was a great time. Now I’m in Amsterdam a couple days to rest and explore

Edward Hopper @edwardhopper.bsky.social · 26/03/2026

Two Comedians (1966) was Hopper's final canvas. It shows Hopper and his wife, Jo, on stage taking a bow. After decades spent spotlighting American life, he ends by stepping into the scene to say a quiet goodbye to the world he painted.

In 2023, the Microbiota Vault Initiative (MVI) collected its first specimens, which are now stored at the University of Zurich. The MVI aims to stockpile backups of vital microbe species, among them bacteria, viruses, archaea, protists, and fungi. Read more: cen.acs.org/biological-c... #chemsky 🧪

Old science: The five platonic solids (of which we think only three were known to Plato) are perfect polyhedra. They are the only 3D shapes that are; vertex-transitive, edge-transitive and face-transitive! These 'faceless' versions are my alternative representations. 🧪 #SciArt

I was getting bored of making regular convex deltahedron as paper models for chemists. Delighted with this non-convex distraction. A highly symmetry (icosahedral) 120- faced Möbius deltahedron. I'm sure mathematics is art. 🧪 #SciArt
