Eugène Delacroix died #OTD in 1863. In 19th-century French painting, he is considered the leading exponent of Romanticism, whose vigor matches the scope of his career. He painted on canvas and decorated the walls and ceilings of public monuments. He also left engravings and lithographs, several articles written for magazines and a Journal published shortly after his death. @wikipedia

Optogenetic activation of the circuit (POATacr1 neurons) increased investigation of a 5 mL Eppendorf tube without inducing mounting . Strikingly, outfitting the Eppendorf tube with the tail-end of a toy mouse induced mounting during light epochs.

Eppendorf Tubes as an object of desire?

'I decided to put the inspiration question directly to five scientists and five artists. I asked the scientists what work of art inspired them, and the artists what in science inspired them.
