I’m not a bad dresser by any means (I mean, just check out my stunning wardrobe in the IOTBS YouTube vids), but I’ve certainly never been called a “fashion guru”. That being said, I think I know good stuff when I see it. And these pants from Shenova Fashion on Etsy are awesome. As is most of the other stuff in the shop. Honestly, if I saw anyone wearing those neuron/retina leggings, I would walk up and high-five you without warning, because they would be incontrovertible proof of your awesomeness. I would high-five the pants, too, but I don’t think that would come across quite like I intend. I believe this is where you say “Shut up and take my money”. Let’s have a little round-up … what other cool science-fashion have you seen out there?

Via thekidshouldseethis, a truly beautiful animated look that explains the simple elegance of DNA, and how, with just four bases at its disposal, it can code for everything that we are and everything that we know:

Director William Samuel and London-based studio Territory made this beautifully illustrated explainer of DNA for BBC Knowledge and Learning. Read more about their inspiration (hint!) and the BBC’s forthcoming site here.

Francis Crick’s letter to his 12-year-old son Michael announcing the discovery of DNA’s double-helix structure 60 years ago this week. More at The New York Times. “Dear Michael, Jim Watson and I have probably made a most important discovery. We have built a model for the structure of de-oxy-ribose-nucleic-acid (read it carefully) called D.N.A. You may remember that the genes of the chromosomes – which carry the hereditary factors – are made up of protein and D.N.A.  Our structure is very beautiful… Now we believe that the D.N.A. is a code.  That is, the order of the bases (the letters) makes one gene different from another gene (just as one page of print is different from another)… In other words we think we have found the basic copying mechanism by which life comes from life.  You can understand that we are very excited. Read this carefully so that you understand it. When you come home we will show you the model. Lots of love, Daddy.” It will be auctioned off by Christie’s in April.

How a molecular biologist proposes! So cute. DNA amplified to different sized fragments via the polymerase chain reaction, and then seperated by size on a gel. This isn’t that hard actually. I just got a Valentine’s Day idea for my lady :) Time to design some romantic DNA. I think more people should get creative with their science, no? (via a very awesome person who uploaded this to imgur and should be married forever) EDIT: The guy who made this went on Reddit on explained how he did it! Check it out.

DNA Origami, Sculpted This is a sculpted representation of a nanoparticle made from DNA “origami” fragments, specially designed sequences of nucleic acids that can be used as building blocks for all kinds of molecular structures. We’ve seen it make its way into everything from stars and smiley faces to Lego-like DNA bricks. (orig. paper for the origami structure)
