I'm so glad you like it! This was from a photo.
I draw in evenings after work. It was about three evenings, so maybe five or six hours total? I remember this was really fun to do!
I've briefly spoken with I think three Nobel prizewinners in chemistry: Lehn, Feringa, Sauvage. Feringa and Sauvage hadn't won when I met them.
Lovely of you to say so! I haven't done one of these but I'll have to give it a try!
I loved it! I've only been the once, years ago, but I remember seeing this one and loving the look on her face.
Thank you! Though having both my version and the original side by side makes me see how wonky her anatomy went for me...
Adding birds to my list of things I don't know what they look like despite seeing them every day.
I have no drawers that are not this drawer.
In the UN General Assembly, do some countries consistently vote the same way?
This plot lays out patterns of similarity in voting behaviour in the decade starting in January 2015. Countries that are close together in space on the plot tend to be similar in their voting.
Clearly the countries are divided and united by certain political themes, but the analysis is blind to these: all it sees is the votes themselves, not the topics voted upon.
Nevertheless, it has picked out a cluster of European nations in the top centre, joined by Ukraine and, more loosely, by Japan, the United Kingdom, New Zealand and Australia. The United States and Israel are a pair of outliers, voting almost identically to one another and often very differently from the rest of the world.
The technique used is logistic PCA, a decomposition method for use with binary data. Data is from the UN digital library. Visualisation done in R.
This is amazing!
I would like to know more.

Although, at a high enough zoom, Earth could also be a crescent.
Planets closer to the sun than you can be in a range of places relative to you and the sun, and so you can see parts of it that are illuminated and parts that are in shadow. Venus and Mercury can both be seen as crescents when viewed from the Earth
When you're looking at a planet further out than you are, you only see the part of the planet that's facing the sun because that's the same part that facing you. So from Earth, the planet Mars looks like a disc.
