Chemist Rachel Fuller Brown was born #OTD in 1898. She co-discovered the antifungal nystatin while doing research for the New York State Department of Health, hence the name. (1/2) 🧪 👩🔬

Maid flirts with her fellow, cat steals the dinner, housewife escapes boring party upstairs to enjoy the disorder of her own household. Great scene from 1657 by Nicolas Maes, whose day is today.

An amazing c. 3,400 year-old ancient Egyptian dog carved from ivory. This leaping dog opens and closes its mouth as if barking by using a lever below its chest.
