The welcoming mural in the South Space of the Faculty of Biosciences and Faculty of Sciences was inaugurated in April 2022. It has just been two years! 

The mural is a tree, a symbol of life and also of science. In it eight scientists appear surrounded by concepts and ideas that evoke different areas of science and bioscience. 

We recognize: 

  • the mathematician Maryam Mirzakhani, 

  • the theoretical physicist and astrophysicist Stephen Hawking, 

  • the botanist and geneticist Barbara McClintock, 

  • the physicist and chemist Linus Pauling, 

  • the geologist and cartographer Marie Tharp, 

  • the naturalist Charles Darwin, 

  • the anthropologist and primatologist Jane Goodall and 

  • the biochemist Leonor Michaelis. 

This exhibition, organized in collaboration with the Faculties of Sciences and Biosciences, and which can be seen until May 31 in the Science and Technology Library, highlights the merits and importance of the eight personalities represented. 

We hope that its example serves as inspiration to whoever visits it!
