SciArt Link Roundup #4

This week, SciArt Saturday gives a special nod to physics. 

Physics Special

• Surprised I've made it this long without a Feynman post --such is my obsession with the man and his gift for story. (If you prefer, there is a twin Sagan series.)
• While I'm at it, one of my favorite books of 2011 is a graphic novel of Feynman's life. 
• Todd Johnson creates "shock fossil" art with five million volts of electricity, a burst of electrons, and maybe a particle accelerator or two. 
• This is also the post where I reveal all my physicist crushes at once (even if the physicists are wrong sometimes). 
• Classic CERN doodles analogize the Higgs boson mechanism...
• ...but who needs to find the Higgs boson with this plushy alternative out there? 

Everything else

• Bioluminescent artwork: SiennaMorris makes fantastic things out of chemical formulae. 
• Show off your smarts to the movers with this packaging tape. (Bonus: This is Spinal Tape.)
• This one is for Hannah, who appreciates a good, science-themed Cabernet Sauvignon and the chemistry behind it. 
• I've got the microbrew crowd covered too. Dogfish Head's favorite lead brewer explains the art and science of his craft.  
• Scientific illustrations by Emily Damstra, who also designs for the Royal Canadian mint. 
• Can you play a bonsai tree? Diego Stocco can.  
• Every February, Yosemite National Park's Horsetail Fall catches the sunlight and holds it there. 
• A brief, hirsute history of science. 
• At museums, I head straight to the insect collections. I only have a few mounted butterflies and moths (part of my personal attachment to this writer-scientist), but these shops are fun to browse.
• Strange poultry over at Scientific Illustration's tumblr. 
• I could sit around and look at animal GIFs on tumblr all day; it's a miracle I hold down this biology major. 
• Kate McDowell makes beautiful things out of porcelain. Check out the SciAm interview with her, too.
• Poker night with Bill Nye. 
• T-Rex just trying to lend a stubby little hand and fit in...
