Another sketchbook page with corvids! Tried out the Sailor fude 45 fountain pen, super fun!

#art #corvid #raven #crow #FountainPen #sketchbook #sciart

Sketchbook page with the text Noodler Red Black / Sailor Fude 45 degrees at the top. Below and to the left is the date 5/16/2024. There are three drawings of crow heads, with two taking up most of the page. The two main crow heads are looking to the left and the right, and seem to be connected. There is text and an arrow pointing to the heads, saying whoops, 2 headed crow? The crow on the right has its mouth open. There is one more smaller crow drawing on the bottom right. The left side has text saying, good in between smoothness of nib between Jinhao and 55 degree Sailor.

Happy birthday to #physicist Harriet Brooks (1876 - 1933) who discovered atomic recoil, Radon & recognized radioactive elements could undergo chains of transmutations into a series of new elements. #nuclear #physics⁠
⁠
She was Rutherford’s 1st grad student at McGill. After publishing her results in 1899 she completed her MSc in 1901 on “Damping of Electrical Oscillations,” before embarking on #radioactivity research.⁠ 🧵

My 9.25" x 12.5" linocut portrait of physicist Harriet Brooks (1876 - 1933) in a gradient of turquoise to green, shows her and her discovery of atomic recoil in gold (Radon gives off an alpha particle and daughter nucleus goes in opposite direction). A series of diagrams at the bottom shows how the Rutherford research group understood chains of radioactive active transmutations at the time.
