The Near-Sighted Monkey

Where does a cartoonist’s interest in science lead?  For Lynda Barry, it led to becoming a Wisconsin Institutes for Discovery Fellow at the University of Wisconsin-Madison and a chance to spend time around scientists working out a variety of problems on white boards all around the WID building.

She’s been photographing the kinds of lines they leave behind while they are explaining their ideas to each other. The photo above was taken about ten days ago. The Meleagris gallopavo modifier was just noted today.
