Little-known Hungarian plant physiologist who figured out how to get a plantlet from a tissue-culture callus. A source says he committed suicide to escape fascism in September 1939 - unable to find the exact historical circumstances - someone who knows Hungarian and knows the history should be able to add to this entry.
Tim J@medieval_illuminations Is she wearing #glasses? It looks a bit as if she is (and I think they'd have been newly invented around then).

Daniel FischerJust seeing that the complete book "Writing the Heavens | Celestial Observation in Medieval and Early Modern Literature" - some 280 pages - which will be published only in two weeks (and then sets you back 100 bucks) is open access at https://www.degruyter.com/document/doi/10.1515/9783111610863/html#contents #scihist
Writing the Heavens
In the Middle Ages and early modernity, celestial observation was frequently a subject for verbal rather than numerical and geometrical recording. These records can now be difficult to decode, since what they address is frequently obscured by formal conventions of genre, imagery, rhetoric, prosody, to name but a few. The volume collects essays exploring such configurations between literature and observation from Europe to China. How, contributors ask, were verbal representations of celestial phenomena encoded and self-consciously placed vis-à-vis other systems of representation and knowledge? What kinds of data are represented, and what are the modes in which they are communicated? What interpretational problems arise when present-day disciplines like climatology, meteorology, geophysics, and astronomy, but also literary studies, try to access them? How were discourses on religion, law, anthropology, aesthetics, colonialism etc. linked, in and through their verbal presentation, with astronomical observation and knowledge? How did individual scholars, texts, and concepts travel between European and non-European cultures, both in space and in time, and which constructions of self and other arose in the process?
