Maria Goeppert Mayer (1906-1972) and Nobel laureate who explained why certain nuclei are more stable with her nuclear shell model. 🧵1/2

Two green vinyl Lino blocks in progress but mostly carved. On top there’s a narrow one with 3 nuclei which each look like a collection of differing numbers of balls, some carved some not.
