I am recently come to Mastodon and fountain pens. Having a good time with both, and looking to share and learn.

Project GutenbergScottish scientist Mary Somerville was born #OTD in 1780.
During her long life, she occupied an important place in the physical sciences. Her books brought readers up to date with subjects ranging from astronomy & anthropology to microscopy & geology. She introduced the English-speaking world to Laplace’s celestial mechanics, wrote an outstanding survey of physical geography, & elucidated the common bonds between the sciences @ a time when they were being carved up into distinct disciplines. 1/
There is an interesting article about Mary Somerville written by Maria Mitchell, which was published in "The Atlantic Monthly" 5 (May 1860), 568–571. 4/

@inkycicada The stub nib took some getting used to, but since then I have so much fun with it. Love the flair it adds to my handwriting.
