Gomez kitty supervising my morning ablutions prior to my 5am Samaritans shift, and then work. Disappointed that an early breakfast wasn't proffered as payment however!

A swim this morning in Loch Eck. My favourite swim spot when we are in Scotland. Water a toasty 4.2 degrees. It was amazing.

Marie Curie (w/husband Pierre) discovered radium #OTD in 1898. It revolutionized #science & launched radioactivity, nuclear physics & cancer therapy. They won the 1903 Nobel in Physics & she became the only person to win a Nobel in 2 science categories with her 1911 Nobel in Chemistry. #WomenInSTEM
A split black-and-white historical photograph featuring two portraits of Marie Curie. On the left: A formal studio portrait from 1895 showing a young Pierre Curie and Marie Curie standing side by side. Pierre, on the left, is a man with a short beard and mustache, wearing a dark three-piece suit with a white shirt, with a serious expression. Marie, on the right, is a young woman with her hair pulled back in an updo, wearing a high-necked dark dress with puffed sleeves and fur trim at the collar, gazing directly at the camera with a calm, composed expression. On the right: A later portrait from around 1920 of an older Marie Curie alone, facing the camera directly. She has gray hair styled loosely and pulled back, and is wearing a dark blouse with a distinctive patterned bow tie at the collar. Her expression is serious and resolute.
