After Science Commons hit the reddit heights earlier this year, I started talking to Alexis Ohanion about how we could start to work together. We are still scheming. But in the interim, he's launched a cool and inventive way to raise a little cash for Science Commons.
In the goal of creating the ultimate meme-launching organism, the folks at breadpig (including a great quote by CC alum Tim Hwang) have announced ROFLDNA - based the DNA of internet celebrities as varied as MC Frontalot and my own personal favorite, the Tron Guy. Their DNA has been combined and turned into a Mini DNA portrait by the team at DNA11.
Go bid on it at eBay and get some cold cash money into Science Commons, while getting yourself some cool DNA based art.
