bioephemera is art + biology - anything and everything from representations of science in art and literature to the neuroscience of aesthetics. Along with lots of other stuff that's just plain interesting.
Jessica Palmer is a biologist & artist currently based in Washington, DC. She spent the last few years teaching at a small state college out West, and now plays with science policy. Her homepage includes the bioephemera archives & a gallery of her work.

The mushroom cloud one is fucking spooky. My understanding is that when the Trinity test went off gangbusters, they all did cheer.

Wow, those shirts are awesome. It's also worth the time to actually take the detailed look at the controversy and science shirts since they have humorous descriptions.
Gonna have to get me some next time I'm fooling around online away from work.

I saw the "Teach the Controversy" shirts in the Boston Globe and wanted to get several-- even more so now that I see the Discworld one!
