I am partial to the cowboy scientist riding the wild microbe, but I'll probably get the guitar playing robot.

YES! Send me a free issue of Seed.
If I like what I see, I'll receive 5 more issues (6 in all) for just $14.95. That's 50% off the cover price! If I'm not completely satisfied, I'll simply write "cancel" on the invoice and owe nothing. The free issue is mine to keep.

These are cool but where are the science t-shirts for us grrls? And what's with the multiplying women one in the upper RH corner?

You can also design your own shirt on the site, if you so wish! That could help with the female-friendly fare.
I would suggest checking out the xkcd.com shirts, for more fare:

You know, if we could just agree on one symbol we could really get this new religion cooking!

I am totally getting the cowboy! For more fun science t-shirt, Questionable Content is good - I have the giant isopod and the Evolution Kills shirts.

Alice: click on the design, and you get the explanation...

All great shirts, but other then the giant isopod, we have nothing in an oceanographic vein here at Deep Sea News . . . .

Except that we are scientists first, deep-sea biologists second.

Kevin, that brings up an interesting point (perhaps one for su to blog on) - why separate the speciality from the discipline? Aren't all deep sea biologists (by their nature) scientists?
