staying with those students at Bonn University: While Hanna appeared to enjoy her chemistry, Ruth Düsselmann was more drawn to botany, so here she is picking up some plants:
And another one on a different occasion:
Both photos taken by our young chemist Richard Groß 1929 or thereafter.
Should anybody have any answers to some of the many questions I am raising in this series (or questions of their own), please leave a comment here (I'll need to vet it, so it may take a few days before it goes public) or contact me at michaelgrr [at] yahoo [dot] co [dot] uk

I started a twitter thread for season 2 here. However, as the bird site seems to be turning into an evil empire, I have now switched to logging the entries in a similar thread on Mastodon.
The twitter thread for season 1 is still here. It only loads 30 tweets at first, so you have to click "show more" a couple of times to get all 40 entries. Alternatively, visit the last instalment and find the numbered list of entries at the bottom.
I'm also adding all photos from this series to my family history album on flickr.
