Happy STEM day!

In celebration, here's drawing of Mendelevium, featuring Mendelev - the creator of the periodic table. He won't have known what STEM is but his work has definitely influenced it. Mendelevium was one of the harder ones to draw, it is used only for research, has no known biological role and does not occur naturally. It is made by bombarding einsteinium with alpha particles (helium ions). So I had to draw Mendelev drawing the table instead (I do not know why I went overboard with the wood grain on the easel though).
