Fractal pancakes and organ pancakes! Now I know what’s been missing from my morning routine all these years. These are from Saipancakes and if you’re not satisfied with what you see here, don’t worry, they have lots more.

Let’s see, we’ve got:
- Willamette Porter Cockerell and Theodore Cockerell, on top with the sunflowers. “Before and after their marriage in 1900, they frequently went on collecting expeditions together and assembled a large private library of natural history films, which they showed to schoolchildren and public audiences to promote the cause of environmental conservation.”
- On the bottom left are Gerty Cori and Carl Cori, who were jointly awarded the Nobel Prize in medicine.
- Then Marion Brickwedde with Ferdinand G. Brickwedde, showing off their apparatus for making heavy water.
- And finally, Mary Douglas Leakey and Louis Leakey, who are obviously hatching an unholy scheme of some kind, but are being very cute about it.
Sigh. I seem to have something in my eye…
Theodore Gray, of The Elements fame, introduces his new DIY masterpiece – the world’s first periodic table table, hand-carved out of wood over the course of 10 years. (via)
Had to happen. (Honestly, this is worth watching just to learn about doggie ear weights). If you want to hear Oliver Sacks rhapsodize about the periodic table, we’ve got that.
Guys, remember the edible cell? Truly the most delicious of all elementary school science projects. Looking at these is making me so nostalgic, I want to plan an edible cell party where everyone has to bring one.
(Full disclosure: one of these is a professional job. Don’t feel bad if yours looked more like this.)
