Thank you for the kind comments on my latest scarves, and thank you @bunnycat for kicking off our scarf year with such fun scarves. Welcome to @HermesEchidna for your first, and hopefully not last, Scarf Hosting gig. You found such delightful examples of science and technology.
Exposition Universelle came along early in my Hermès scarf collecting career, and was a scarf design I simply had to have. Both DH and I have math and science backgrounds and the delightful inventions on EU are fun and captivating.
Is this yet another attempt to straighten the Leaning Tower of Pisa? The leaning tower has fascinated scientists for centuries. In addition, around 1590 Galileo dropped two cannonballs of different weights from the tower and demonstrated that their speed of descent was independent of mass.
Or, look at these displays about electricity and flight. Is that the future Flying Horse, version XXI?
Not to mention demonstrations of teleportation and planet creation which can be found on the scarf.
Exposition Universelle is my scarf of the day.

Brilliant @Redbirdhermes!
Beautiful and great example!! I Can reveal that transportation will feature more during the week, so you are First mover!!!
Ooohhh. Thank you for these perfect details! This is a design which has sadly escaped me but is definately on my Watch List. And I Think it just moved further up on that list!!!
Thank you!!! And thank you for always modeling it so beautifully.
Also wanted to thank @HermesEchidna for such a wonderful kickoff!!! I will have to see what I have for this theme…
Wonderful intro @HermesEchidna
Going through YOSD I have more designs befitting arts & literature but when YOSD is as chock full as mine one is bound to find something thematically appropriate
From the beginning of modern technology to the present…
Hermes Electrique represents the lightbulb
And Galaxy represents space exploration

What a fantastic post and start for this week HE!!!! Love all your selections and what a technology find on that Dreamer scarf! And Double Leopardy -Good morning Scarflandia!
Thank You to @bunnycat for hosting the ‘chaos week’ of funny and happy scarves and to all of you for sharing your lovely scarves. It is an uplifting way to begin the new year!
This is my first time hosting a theme, so please bear with me and forgive any ommissions or mistakes of tpr functionality and content. Also I do this on my phone, so spelling mistakes and auto”correct” might occur. Also I tend to write too long…
One of the ‘excuses’/reasons I give myself for indulging in collecting scarves is the potential relevance and meaning of their motives. Having worked and studied cross-dicipline of natural science and history my entire Life, especially scarves with such mixed content intrigues me, and I hope you will join me in exploring that this week.
Finding narratives or traces of STEM - science, technology, engenering and mathematics - in Hermes scarves is easy, especially if the subject it widened to it’s full extent - the entire range of Scientific fields and the historic development of human Endeavour to understand and shape the world.
I will try to present a bouquet of examples this week with a new angle each day, but as my collection does definetely not hold all the great manifestations of stem scarves which exist I look so much forward to see and enjoy all your contribution.
And please, please remember that all sotds are welcome - in Scarflandia everything is on topic because scarves IS the topic. Themes are just the sprinkle on the icing.
I want to begin the week with an assortment of examples. And I start in the now of modern tech, with the computer game inspired Super Silk Quest by Elias Kofouros.

Other designs inspired by digital tech and computers is The Game by the same designer , and we also find some bears (or Apes?) with a gameboy on Nothing but a Dreamer by Mayliss Vigouroux.

Another direct use of tech equipment in scarves is the x-ray image of Please Check in, by Dimitri Rybaltchenko And there are several other designs related to photo and film technology like Photo Fisnish and Sequences. Please let us see these, and other examples!

Nothing but a Dreamer also feature whales. Whales were hunted to near extinction in the 16-19th centuries for their blubber and oil to be used for especially fuel for lamps. The Discovery of how to use gas and electricity instead fortunately relieved the stress on whales, but changed a lot more! No doubt the electric and digital revolution has altered our lifes and the State of the Planet in general to extent we do probably not yet understand. But it has also literally enlightened us. Let me see scarves of lightbulbs, neon, lampposts, sparks and beams - all the modern Electric stuff, while I myself stay Old School with more whales and some Lanterns.

Preparing for the week, I did not have much luck in finding good examples of maths in my own collection - expect for the eternal counting of scarves, and ignoring the costs- but I know they must be there so please also give us some of your creative examples of Math as well to fire up the week.
My only slightly mathematical scarf is Les Douze Leopards (also know as the Double Leopardy - so in fact there are 2 x 12 = 24 leopards) - which even feature an abacus for us to check our calculations on!

Wish you all a great Day - The Stem story continues tomorrow !
now there's reason to "need" a scarf.... 
I do have some math to share for this week, it just happens.
Here's one I wore sometime last week (or maybe it was the week before...it all blurs together when you work at home).
One of my first mousselines was a 90cm called Vinci by Francoise Heron, which was based on this labyrinth and geometric knot design from Leonardo da Vinci. And of course, da Vinci was not only a master artist, but also made many many scientific and mathematic geometry explorations in his work. I don't recall enough of my art history, but I think it would be a safe bet much of his work in perspective was based in mathematical precision. A true blend of the art and sciences.

Awesome, Bunnycat, design and colour!What a fantastic post and start for this week HE!!!! Love all your selections and what a technology find on that Dreamer scarf! And Double Leopardy -

Thank you so much for kicking of last week, fun scarves were exactly what I needed.
Thank you to all gracious hosts for making my Sunday mornings fun! as the first timer posting my sotd on this thread, I am very excited! and, hopefully, I am with today's theme. My sotd is Le Pegase d' Hermes au bloc 140 silk by Christian Renonciat, in blue azur/vert/rose. the original Le Pegase d' Hermes scarf design is described as "a mechanical construction, a tribute to Leonardo da Vinci and the dream of building a new word." In my mind it's a tribute to STEM theme not to mention, it's one of my favorite H scarf designs to date.
not to mention, it's one of my favorite H scarf designs to date.Attachments
As someone with a math and engineering background, I am particularly looking forward to this week. I don’t have many that fit this weeks theme but my laboratories du temps definitely does. Featuring everything from the Big Bang to space exploration.

Thank you! it was colorway 12.
Thank you GloWW0rM!
Thank you LKB. I'll just take lying down today (though I am just about to go be stupid enough to go out in it for a bit...) Have the CP bandanas been released yet??? Much as I hate to say it, with the price increase...I really hope i can try one out, and especially loved the green one I saw.This is lovely and as so many others have said, you are blessed to have your (skilled) grandmother in your life and sharing her talent with you @Jacq1! I remember my own so fondly-- and alsways with some needlework in her hands...
There are many many beautiful Marwaris @Awillow-- when the timing is right... I just love the gentleness of the horses faces and their beautiful eyes. Of course their costumes are gorgeous and provide the artist with so much to work with!
Thank you @MabelJo! I have the LE Katrina issue (twins with @Redbirdhermes) but I wanted one with the misspelling of Lil Hardin's name and more color options! And Beloved India is a perennial love of mine...
Your weatherman has quite a sense of humor but you look beautiful and ready to stand up to anything @bunnycat! (and thank you for the Cheval Punk enablement
Needs to be a Scarf Bingo category @bunnycat! Amirite @Lellabelle? And oh, my. Pickles and Snickers need their own Adventure Book series...
Thank you @AnnaE and @Maedi-- I honestly believe it is the light-- or the angle of the light. The whole city seems awash in it...even with a hard freeze approaching!
Congratulations @Foxy trini --- it is a beauty!
Thank you both @Jereni and @Cookiefiend. The colors here in NOLA right now are purple, green and gold for Mardi Gras so my few in these colors are in heavy rotation!
Thank you dear @Croisette7-- it is a perfect green and gold Marwari for Mardi Gras season! Your blue Turqueries is wonderful (as are your lovely birds!) and this Huile Parfumee could not be more darling and perfectly matched with your windowpane check jacket and charming brooch.
Beautiful choice- Petit Doc looks perfect with that shirt and LOVE the fascinator!
Rbh- what a great one for this week! I adore the colors on this one.
