Two of the little pots turned out adorable, the others were a bit patchy and needed more kiln hugs. More news on Saturday #pottery

2 small pots after glazing. One - top half blue, bottom yellow. The other top half blue, bottom speckled white.

Seven little pots I did, practicing bottles and collaring. Some more successful than others. Also trying out some speckled glazes. Well they're off to the kiln now. Pob lwc little pots. #pottery

Seven small bottles with different combinations of glazing, ready to go in the kiln.

My day job is at a rural branch of a public library, and we have a Pride display. Yesterday I was at the desk when a man came in. Fifties, maybe, or sixties. Plaid shirt, mesh trucker cap, suspenders. He went up to the display and just stood there for a long moment. Then he came up to the desk. 🧵 1/

Alice Augusta Ball found the cure for leprosy at 23. She died in a mysterious lab accident at 24. Arthur Dean stole her research, stole it and renamed it from "The Ball Method" to "The Dean Method." It took 90 years before her original research papers were found and she got the credit due to her.

Remembering Marie Curie on International Women's Day! Marie spent years working in a dank, leaky shed boiling down tons of toxic pitchblende to extract a 0.1 grams of pure radium. She physically proved that atoms break apart, laying the exact foundation for cancer treatments! ☢️🔬 #WomenInScience

A highly detailed, digitally colorized close-up portrait of the pioneering physicist and chemist Marie Curie. She is looking directly into the camera lens with an incredibly intense, intelligent, and focused expression. The fingers of her left hand are gently resting against her cheek and neck. She has curly, textured brown hair pulled back loosely. She is wearing a dark blue, utilitarian dress with fine vertical pleats on the shoulder. The warm, realistic skin tones and soft lighting of the colorization process give this historic archival photo a highly modern, lifelike feel. Original archival photograph by Henri Manuel. Digital colorization by Seriously Scientific.

Remembering Rosalind Franklin on International Women's Day! Without her mastery of X-ray crystallography and the iconic 'Photo 51', discovering the DNA double helix would have been impossible. She measured the secret of life. Her exact math made gene editing possible! 🔬🧬 #WomenInScience

$A digitally restored, archival composite image celebrating Rosalind Franklin. On the left is a black and white portrait of the British chemist and X-ray crystallographer. She has dark, softly curled hair and is wearing a dark, tailored dress, looking thoughtfully off-camera with a focused expression. On the right side is a clear, highly enhanced reproduction of 'Photograph 51'. This is her famous X-ray diffraction image of crystallized DNA fibers. The scientific image features a dark circular background with a distinct, striking arrangement of fuzzy black spots forming a perfect 'X' shape converging in the center. The heavy dark smudges at the very top and bottom of the circle indicate the repeating bases of the genetic code. The specific angle of the 'X' physically proves the double-helix structure of the DNA molecule. At the bottom, a professional credit line reads: King's College London and Seriously Scientific.$

Today seems like a good day to remember Rosalind Franklin (1920-1958), whose pioneering work in X-Ray diffraction led to the discovery of the structure of DNA – but only after one of her photos was stolen and shown to the men who would later win a Nobel Prize for the discovery (without citing her).

The scientist produced an X-ray photograph in 1952, that helped show the structure of DNA

My husband has taught human reproduction and development to the Cambridge medics for over three decades. When people start banging on about "only two biological sexes" he starts with "which sex: genetic, hormonal, or gonadal"? Biological sex is not binary. www.scientificamerican.com/article/sex-...

I leant upon a coppice gate When Frost was spectre-gray, And Winter’s dregs made desolate The weakening eye of day. The tangled bine-stems scored the sky Like strings of broken lyres, And all mankind that haunted nigh Had sought their household fires.

There are lots of great books on the subject and lots of debate. The pack system is more fluid than previously thought and also can differ from one region to another. Captive wolves are obviously easier to observe, so there’s more data, next would be national park packs, like the Yellowstone wolves.
