Scientists in love, courtesy of the fantastic Smithsonian Flickr stream.

Let’s see, we’ve got:

• Willamette Porter Cockerell and Theodore Cockerell, on top with the sunflowers. “Before and after their marriage in 1900, they frequently went on collecting expeditions together and assembled a large private library of natural history films, which they showed to schoolchildren and public audiences to promote the cause of environmental conservation.”
• On the bottom left are Gerty Cori and Carl Cori, who were jointly awarded the Nobel Prize in medicine.
• Then Marion Brickwedde with Ferdinand G. Brickwedde, showing off their apparatus for making heavy water.
• And finally, Mary Douglas Leakey and Louis Leakey, who are obviously hatching an unholy scheme of some kind, but are being very cute about it.

Sigh.  I seem to have something in my eye…
