Happy birthday to Kathleen Lonsdale DBE FRS (née Yardley, 1903-1971) who solved a longstanding #chemistry conundrum of the shape of benzene, here with her drawing of electron density for hexachlorobenzene (green) & model of hexamethylbenzene explore shape in different forms. Her husband said, “Before prison it might have bothered her to go to Buckingham Palace. Afterwards, Holloway or Buckingham Palace were all the same.” 🧵

The next #PrinterSolstice2526 prompt is expression so I am working on a portrait of one of the great 20th century mathematicians, Olga Ladyzhenskaya (1922-2004). She made immense contributions to the study of partial differential equations, particularly with the Navier-Stokes equations and fluid dynamics and she was brave and kind in her personal life, 🧵
