Your Science-Themed Gift Guide
2025 Holiday Ornament: Antibody
Your immune system’s most iconic defender, the antibody, bends and flexes its Y-shaped arms to recognize antigens—foreign molecules from bacteria, viruses, and other pathogens. Each arm ends in a binding site formed by paired immunoglobulin folds, creating an exquisite molecular handshake between antibody and antigen.
2024 Holiday Ornament: tRNA
tRNA folds into this beautiful 3D structure before carrying amino acids to ribosomes for protein synthesis. It even forms A-U and G-C base pairs! This elegant structure differs greatly from the cloverleaf structure commonly shown online or in textbooks.
Interactive Lab Notebook
From side chains to codons, the Interactive Lab Notebook is your one-stop resource for all things molecular! This notebook features interactive AR-enabled front and back covers and interior pages. Including full color reference charts: Molecules of Life Chart, Amino Acid Side Chain Chart, Nucleotide Chart
Bacteriophage Enamel Pin
Show off one of biology’s most iconic molecular machines! Our AR-enhanced Bacteriophage pin brings this virus’s striking structure to life, perfect for sparking curiosity in the classroom or adding a science-forward edge to your everyday look. A must-have for microbiology fans, teachers, and students.
ZAR1 Resistosome Enamel Pin
Celebrate plant immunity in style! This AR-enhanced ZAR1 Resistosome pin showcases the elegant ring-shaped complex that helps plants defend themselves from pathogens. It’s the perfect accessory for biology lovers, educators, and anyone who appreciates a beautifully complex molecule.
Anthrax Enamel Pin
