Trailblazing geochemist Katsuko Saruhashi honoured in Google Doodle

sudshr47 March 22, 2018

Commemorating what would’ve been her 98th birthday, Google paid tribute to Japanese geochemist Katsuko Saruhashi on Thursday.

The honour took in the form of a Doodle, featuring a sketch of the scientist, clipboard in hand, as water fills the background.

Saruhashi is best known for developing a groundbreaking method for measuring carbonic acid in natural waters based on its temperature, pH level and chlorinity. This methodology was dubbed “Saruhashi’s Table,” and proved to be indispensable to oceanographers for decades.

In 1954, she examined the prevalence of radioactive materials in seawater and how far it spread due to fallout in the Pacific. Read more…

Google Doodle re-creates pi formula in delicious apple pie form

sudshr47 March 14, 2018

For the 30th anniversary of Pi Day, Google went there. It made a Pi-themed Google Doodle out of, yep you guess it, pie ingredients. Hilarious.

Pi Day is celebrated every year on March 14—or 3.14—as an homage to the mathematical constant, which is equal to 3.14159.

This year Google decided to mark the 30th occurrence of this event with a nod to “the number’s delicious sounding name.” The Doodle represents Pi’s mathematical formula—the ratio between a circle’s circumference to its diameter—in pie form.

Pi Day was first recognised 30 years ago back in 1988 by physicist Larry Shaw, according to Google. And, those wishing to mark to the occasion often do so by enjoying a slice of their favourite pie. Read more…

Virginia Woolf gets a Google Doodle of her own

sudshr47 January 25, 2018

As Virginia Woolf’s most famous quote says, a woman must have money and a Google Doodle if she is to write fiction.

OK, actually having a room first is probably more important for writing novels. But, Woolf just got a Google Doodle of her own to celebrate her 136th birthday. And, it is nothing short of beautiful.

According to a Google blog, the doodle—created by London-based illustrator Louise Pomeroy—was designed to celebrate Woolf’s “minimalist style.”

Virginia Woolf (1882-1941) was a British writer of novels and essays. Some of her most famous works are Mrs Dalloway, To The Lighthouse, A Room of One’s Own, and Orlando. Woolf is regarded as one of the most influential modernists of the twentieth century, and one of the first novelists to use stream of consciousness as a literary device. Read more…

Why Google’s new Doodle is dedicated to Marlene Dietrich

sudshr47 December 27, 2017

One of Hollywood’s Golden Age legends has been glorified in a Google Doodle.

The Doodle depicts Marlene Dietrich, famous for her breakout 1930 role as cabaret singer Lola-Lola in Germany’s first talking picture, Der Blaue Engel, and who was born on this day in 1901 — that’s 116 years ago.

Illustrated by artist Sasha Steinberg (also known as drag queen Sasha Velour and winner of RuPaul’s Drag Race Season 9), the Doodle shows Dietrich performing in a gender-bending top hat and tuxedo, worn in her Hollywood debut role as nightclub dancer Amy Jolly in 1930’s Morocco. Read more…
