I spent the later part of this week working on this friendly little Sloth.

Very happy with the finished product, and I hope you like it too!

Also, here is a video about Sloths, with the quote ”slipperier than a greased pig”

Architect Frank Lloyd Wright’s business letterhead, as used in 1932; seven years later, it looked like this. See also, Wright’s slightly manic, personal letterhead from 1946.

SCIENTIFIC ILLUSTRATION IN 19TH CENTURY NEUROSCIENCE

Cajal’s Butterflies of the Soul
Javier DeFelipe
Oxford, 2010

In the nineteenth-century, pioneering investigators of the central nervous system had to compensate for primitive technology with extraordinary artistic talent. They produced drawings of their experimental slides in order to preserve the revelations therein. Strange, complex, and utterly gorgeous, these figures are the inspiration for Cajal’s Butterflies of the Soul.

The book features illustrations by 91 researchers. It’s named after Santiago Ramón y Cajal (1852-1934) since his illustrations contributed more than those of anyone else at the time to the growth of modern neuroscience.

A few hours after a 7.0 magnitude earthquake stuck China’s Sichuan Province on April 20, 2013, killing more than 190 and injuring thousands, Li Wei, who works at the Bifengxia Panda Center near Ya’an, captured the photograph above of a terrified giant panda taking refuge in a tree, which made it on the AFP/Getty Images wire and in TIME’s Pictures of the Week.

“A number of pandas had fled, some of them climbed trees, and they remained very scared throughout the day as the aftershocks continued,” Li Wei tells TIME. “For several hours staff tried to coax them out of the trees, but they only came down in the afternoon to drink their milk.”

“The staff was as happy to see that as they would be to see their own children at home eating and drinking,” he adds. “Over the next few days we had to adjust their food and offer psychological care before they returned to normal.”
