histories of science in comics / years of science...
This entry is mainly me stashing the links where I'll find them again, but I know they'll be of interest to some others of you reading:
There's a new comic book, The lives of Marie Curie, by Swiss cartoonist Fiami. Looks like it's available in both English and French.
There's an exhibition on women in science (specifically Marie Curie, Mileva Einstein, and Marie-Anne Lavoisier) at CERN, featuring Fiami's illos. Details here and here.
Fiami's The Lives of Galileo was the official comic book of the International Year of Astronomy 2009. The order form an interesting read because of its offer to prospective translators/publishers. (Looks like it was successful, since Fiami's site shows it available in eight languages.)

I keep forgetting that this year was designated the International Year of Chemistry. Here's how the designation came about.
Dublin succeeded in its bid (dating back to at least 2008) to be named "European City of Science 2012." The UN designation for the year is International Year of Sustainable Energy for All.
