Dr. Victoria Grinberg (vicgrinberg@mastodon.social)'s status on Thursday, 12-Oct-2023 07:44:14 JST Dr. Victoria Grinberg

Oh, apparently yesterday was #PortfolioDay and I missed it! I am Victoria and I am doing #SciArt, mainly focusing on astronomy & astrophysics (#astrodon) and on #academia
& research commentary.
You can fine more of my doodles here: https://www.sternwarte.uni-erlangen.de/~grinberg/#doodles
And an introduction to my process & an encouragement for other researchers to do art here: https://mastodon.social/@vicgrinberg/111115356974247400

1. Mostly black and white digital drawing of the JWST space telescope, with gold highlight for the mirror and some of the electronics

2. My black and white and grey digital sketch of Cecilia Payne Gaposchkin. Above it, a citation from her thesis: 'The application of physics in the domain of astronomy constitutes a line of investigation that seems to possess almost unbounded possibilities'. Slightly in the background sketches of the energy levels in the hydrogen atom (orbital co-sketched) and a star with sun spots and loop/protuberances. Name and citation underlines in red, everything else is black and white.

3. A black & white stylized sketch of things falling into a black hole: a cat, a whale, a star, an apple, a physics book, a bowl of pasta, an astronaut ... And the final black hole only has mass, angular momentum and charge (marked as words).

4. A stick figure balancing on an unicycle on a wire above a canyon, biking towards a sign saying 'a job (maybe)' while the wire is fraying apart. The figure is carrying a precarious amount of boxes, labelled bureaucreacy, two-body problem, anxiety, childcare, finances, living in a foreign country, loneliness, impostor syndrome, depressopn, career insecurity. Next to it title of the session 'Healthy Careers in Astronomy', the names of the two convenors (V. Grinberg, M.S. Pawlowski) and a list of speaker names

  Attached: 1 image 1/16 This July, I gave an invited talk in the "Communicating Science Through Art" session at the European Astronomical Society annual meeting, organized by the amazing @theastrophoenix . And I thought it may be something that would also interest you #fediverse folks. The aim of the talk was partly to give people insight into my why & how of my art. But mainly to encourage others to just try. In a very subjective manner. A thread: 🧵 #VicisArt #AcademicChatter #SciArt #SciComm #WissKomm #Art
