Making an edition of self-taught scientist Agnes Pockels (1862-1935), who pioneered surface science & defined the Pockels point, the minimum area a single molecule can occupy in a monomolecular film. Her sister-in law, Elisabeth wrote, “every day, millions of housewives were unhappy to see greasy dish water and just wanted to get rid of it, but it inspired this very person to make observations and finally also work on scientific treatises.” 🧵

Six of my portraits of Agnes Pockels drying on a tabletop. My Lino block portrait of Agnes Pockels holding her pen and notebook by her trough (which was 70 cm by 5 cm and 2 cm deep, with a ruler along its length and a sliding divider). There is a button attached to an apothecary scale in the through so she can measure surface tension. She has her hair up and wears a dress and a cross on a necklace. She is surrounded by soap bubbles and you can see text in reverse for the Pockels point, 20 angstroms squared. She is in a gradient of dark forest green to lime from the base of the print upwards. The text, bubbles, and swirling patterns in the soap film in the front of her through are in pale pinkish purple.

Mercredi 11 février 2026, l'ENS organise un Éditathon @wikipedia_fr "Femmes de sciences".
Des spécialistes seront présent·es pour accompagner l'édition, la création, l'enrichissement, l'amélioration, la traduction, l'illustration des pages de femmes de sciences sur l'encyclopédie. Tout le monde est invité à contribuer sur place ou à distance.

For #printerSolstice2526 prompt division here is my #linocut portrait of Agnes Pockels (1862-1935), the self-taught scientist who pioneered surface science.

As a woman she did not get the chance to go to university & study physics like her theoretical physicist brother Friedrich, who discovered the Pockels effect. So at 18 she took her "passionate interest for natural science" to her household chores &

Working on my next print for #PrinterSolstice2526 -another scientist portrait for the prompt division. I decided to interpret it like the ‘dividing line’ or interface & highlight the life & work of autodidact Agnes Pockels (1862-1935). Not allowed to attend university as a woman to pursue her interest in physics, she was expected to keep house & care for her ailing parents, so she became fascinated with what was occurring in her soapy dishwater and 🧵

#BlackHistoryMonth is a great time to celebrate mathematician and NASA scientist Katherine Johnson (née Coleman; 1918 – 2020). One of the first Black women employed as a NASA scientist (and its predecessor NACA), she was known for her mastery of complex manual calculations of orbital mechanics and played a pivotal role in the success of the US crewed spaceflights from the beginning.🧵

linocut portrait of Katherine Johnson in a upward gradient of raspberry to purple ink (she is a Black woman in a shirt dress, with pearls, glasses and a watch, holding a pencil, facing left with her arms out on an unseen table like she was writing, looking at the viewer over her right shoulder). Behind her on the right is the Project Mercury rocket with capsule and launch trajectory in black. Beside her on right is the Earth in blue with two images of the Moon in silver above to show the trajectory for the Apollo Lunar Module.

I love and appreciate community events such as #Fosdem, but it makes me sad to see the gender imbalance in #foss tech. I'm aware of the issue, but being at such a large-scale event makes it very tangible and visible.
