I am a total Paul Klee stan.

(And once had the good luck to spend some time with Carl Djerassi's collection of Klee drawings. Djerassi was a fine chemist and equally, a fine collector, as well as being a committed and effective supporter of living artists.)
This painting, a 1927 piece by the Swiss-German artist Paul Klee, is called Limits of Reason (also known as Grenzen des Verstandes, or The Bounds of the Intellect).

I was on the Djerassi ranch in California soaking up the fog. It also inspired this carved poem installation called 'Twelve Names For Fog'

Miramontes synthesized norethisterone, the key ingredient in early oral contraceptives. Working from Syntex, a pharmaceutical in Mexico City, under the supervision of Djerassi and Rosenkranz. All 3 are credited on the patent, Djerassi acknowledged Luis was 1st to complete synthesis.

Thank you @alanparrywriter.co.uk @thebrokenspine.co.uk

The prompt has taken me back to the month I spent on the Djerassi ranch for Scientific Delirium Madness 2018, the people I met & night we all spent stargazing with our own astrophysicist guide, Seba Pérez!
