Black-and-white photograph of Marie Curie in her Paris laboratory. She stands in a long dark dress with a high collar, carefully holding a glass round-bottom flask, surrounded by early 20th-century scientific equipment including a large glass carboy on the bench behind her. The two-time Nobel laureate is captured mid-experiment, focused and composed.

Marie Curieβs daughter and 1935 Nobel Chemistry co-winner stands at a workbench lined with beakers, test tubes, and glassware, her expression serious and concentrated amid the tools of radioactivity research.
#OTD in 1903, Marie Curie became the first woman to win a #Nobel Prize (#Physics).
AND
#OTD in 1935, her daughter Irene Joliot-Curie won the Nobel Prize in #Chemistry for the discovery of artificial radioactivity.
They're the only motherβdaughter pair to have both won Nobel Prizes. #WomenInSTEM

A small, black, curly-haired dog sprints across a stone-tiled plaza, a green ball held firmly in its mouth. The dog wears a blue collar and its tail is held high as it runs. Behind the dog stands a grand, pale stone building with classical architectural elements, including columns and an inscription above the entrance that reads "D. O. IN HONOREM B. SEC". A round window is visible on the upper part of the building. The plaza is bathed in sunlight, casting a distinct shadow of the dog on the ground. The overall scene conveys a sense of joy and playful energy against the backdrop of a historic building.
Last summer at Chiusi. Italy.

Two fungi, decurrent (is that the word?) gills, brown top, pale underside, chunky stalk. The rims curling upwards.
Can you tell me what this fungus is? Under a beech tree. Moderately large, say 5-6 cm across. Thanks!!

A little white bird with black cap and grey back is somehow stuck to the side of a thick tree trunk with tail up and head down. Its head is stretched out giving a profile view. This is a white-breasted nuthatch.
When you look at the feet they donβt look like theyβre gripping at all. NUTHATCH MAGIC
