Detox Doodles!

This is a habit of drawing something every time I feel the urge to scroll unnecessarily. It helps stop the bad habit and start a new good habit of sketching daily!

This page is all about ducks, who are just silly!

Photo of a sketchbook page of duck drawings in pink pen ink. There are 9 duck drawings on the page. The top of the page has the text 5/24/25 and DUCKS. Top left has a sleeping baby duck, then a duck with its butt in the air in water, and two drawings of ducklings. Below them is a huge round duck, and another duck with its legs in the air. On the bottom right is a long Indian Runner Duck (labeled), a flying duck, and a duck sticking its face up to the viewer.

Happy birthday Rosalind Franklin (1920 – 1958), #chemist & x-ray #crystallographer whose x-ray diffraction images were instrumental to discovering double-helix structure of #DNA, made important contributions to #carbon & #virus research, was 1 of the great scientists of the 20th century.⁠
⁠
Watson’s bio lead some to (inaccurately) joke, “What did Watson and Crick discover?” “Rosalind Franklin’s notes.” 🧵

My linocut portrait of Rosalind Franklin (1920 – 1958), in a gradient of magenta from her shoulders up through dark blue to her hair. Her necklace is a double helix of DNA. Her brooch is the Tobacco Mosaic Virus. The pattern on her jacket is based on her publication of the structure of non-graphitizing carbon. ⁠ Behind her in shades of robin’s egg blue is an image of the famous X-ray crystallographic Photo 51, produced by her grad student Gosling and important to deducing the structure of DNA.
