Gregor Johann Mendel’s 189th Birthday Gets A Google Logo Made Of Peas

Published by pratyushkp on July 21st, 2011 - in Social, Technology

On July 20, Google doffs its cap to the 189th birthday of Gregor Johann Mendel.

Often called the father of genetics, Mendel is most famous for his study of the inherited traits passed down by pea plants. A new Google Doodle, spelling out the company logo in pea pods, honors Mendel’s contribution to biology.

Born in 1822 in Hungary, Mendel entered the order of Augustinian monks and studied at the University of Vienna.

The Washington Post describes Mendel’s famed study of peas:

Testing tens of thousands of pea plants, Mendel studied the patterns of dominant, recessive and hybrid traits. His laws of segregation and independent assortment eventually bathed the gardener in branding glory, as they became better known decades after his death as Mendel’s “laws of inheritance.”

According to the National Health Museum, he also studied meteorology and evolution.

Independence Day 2011: Google Logo Honors The 4th Of July

Published by pratyushkp on July 5th, 2011 - in Social, Technology

Google‘s gone patriotic in honor of July 4, Independence Day in the United States.

Google’s homepage logo depicts a compressed map of the U.S., from San Francisco on the west coast to New York on the east coast, and everything in between.

Though a highway separates the east half of the map from the west and divides the Google logo down the middle, a rainbow joins the two coasts and passes over animated representations of Chicago‘s Willis Tower (aka Sears Tower), a family farm, a suburban home and other iconic American images.

The doodle’s west coast is bright and sunny, while the night has fallen on the doodle’s east coast and fireworks can be seen in the sky over the Statue of Liberty.

Visit Google’s home page on the 4th of July to check the doodle out, or take a peek at the screenshot (below).

Google Celebrates 115th Birthday Of The X-Ray

Published by pratyushkp on November 11th, 2010 - in Social, Technology

Google’s new doodle celebrates the invention of the X-ray’s.

It is truly the discovery of the century and what better way to show appreciation than have a Doodle dedicated to it by Google.

Search Engine Google’s latest doodle is dedicated in appreciation of X-ray’s discovery and its usefulness. The doodle which features a transparent Google in the form of bones and a few ‘other’ items comes with an eerie blue glow, whose brightness increases and decreases back and forth.

Discovered by German scientist Wilhelm Conrad Roentgen, in 1895, X ray’s are a form of radiation composed of rays and the most common use is in diagnostic radiography. Google seems to act as reminder to things that we often take for granted, though unlike previous doodles which are often interactive (Packman, John Lennon),the recent one only glows and users who click on them will obviously be lead to search results based on X-ray’s.
