Dazzling DNA

I think we can all agree that science is a spectacular, wondrous thing. It’s also now a stylish thing, too, when you wear a pair of these DNA earrings. My personal favorites are the rainbow DNA earrings—which could do double-duty as science pride and gay pride, if you’re so inclined. Or they can just be awesome rainbow DNA earrings. That’s cool, too.

DNA Scarf

Craftster is such a great place to find nerdy crafts. Back in 2008 they had a Science IS Art swap that had amazing gallery–which included the greatest scarf of all time: the DNA Scarf. Superhooker made it for her partner (along with other great stuff) and it quickly became a popular topic. Last year I was the lucky recipient of one, and I love it! The pattern is here, so you can have your own!

Knitted DNA Model

Kimberly Chapman of kimberlychapman.com made this great knitted DNA model she calls “Baby’s first DNA Model”. There’s no better way to make sure your child (or someone else’s) is introduced to geekdom early. You never know, your baby might like this DNA model so much, that they go on to become award winning scientists (or geeks)!
