The Feejee Mermaid was a monkey sewn to a fish. Fifteen thousand a day paid a quarter to see it, then lingered. So he painted a sign over the exit: THIS WAY TO THE EGRESS. Another quarter to come back in. P.T. Barnum, working as advertised.

Last month @kuleuvenuniversity.bsky.social hosted the conference "Matter and Material Causation", which gathered scholars to examine the notion of #matter in the Greek, Arabic & Latin philosophical traditions of antiquity up to early modernism.

He moved apartments up to sixty times in Vienna. When notes wouldn't come, he stripped down, poured pitchers of cold water over his head, and bellowed scales until the floorboards leaked. Beethoven: deaf, drenched, evicted repeatedly.

Dr. Lynn L. Merrill's "The Romance of Victorian Natural History" became my favourite book on the subject from the very first chapter. It is now out of print but copies are not too difficult to locate, which I very much recommend doing. #Booksky #HistSci

Vote orpiment for its fascinating history!

It was important to alchemists in both the Chinese tradition, where it was associated with attempts to make gold, & in the Western tradition where it was also believed to be useful for attempting to make the philosopher’s stone. #MinCup26 #histsci #sciart

Inspired by Song Dynasty Chinese painting this is my linocut portrait of Geng Xiansheng outlined in black on ivory paper, seated at a table with alchemical furnace, vessels cups by a building and bamboo plants covered in snow. She has a flower in her hair and wears a green robe. The vessels are red, and blue. The bamboo is green with black. The roof of the building lintel has a red stripe below a pattern of blue and green.My linocut portrait ‘Mary the Jewess, Mother of Alchemy’ with 3 devices attributed to her: the bain-marie (essentially a double boiler, shown as a large round brick furnace complete with orange flames, water bath and vessels), the kerotakis (which allowed one to heat items while collecting vapors, shown as a diagram with tube, with orange flames, below a heated substance, grill and a dome on top) and the tribikos (a kind of alembic with three arms that was used to obtain substances purified by distillation, here like a smaller bain-marie complete with orange flames in furnace, heated vessel and 3 arms to 3 alembics). Mary herself is printed in a gradient of purple to bronze to purple (top to bottom) on ivory paper. She is a Hellenistic Jew, dressed in a draped Classical style dress and wears a veil over her long hair. Her clothing was the frescos of the Dura-Europos synagogue built in Syria in 244 CE.

Interesting that roles in the history of #physics that didn’t get credited on papers just happened to dominated by women, eh?
