Arts & Crafts
sporte | April 8, 2015National DNA Day has a fun challenge for teachers and classrooms using Pinterest. Your class can join a larger, national, effort to create a National DNA Day Pinterest board by making your own class Pinterest board on DNA, genetics, and genomics. Some possible topics are:
Things to do with DNA
DNA and health
DNA and the Arts
DNA in the News
We're really excited about the topic on DNA and the Arts!
Here's how you can make some lovely DNA Art images for your Pinterest board in Molecule World on an iPad or, if you don't have access to an iPad, you can use Cn3D.
1. Go to our DNA search at…
sporte | November 30, 2008The grocery store magazine covers all say that home made gifts are big this year. So I thought, some of you might like to channel your inner Martha Stewart and make gifts with a science theme.
Reposted in honor of the holiday and the economy.
I'm here to help to you make a merry mug with one of our favorite molecules. Yep, we're talking caffeine.
1. First, we'll go to PubChem at the NCBI. It's not an exclusive (or even last) resort but there are lots of fancy molecules hanging around, just waiting to be discovered and put onto drinking containers.

Have a loverly Valentine's DNA!
(And just in case you're wondering, yes, I did put it on a coffee mug.)
sporte | December 16, 2007Maybe there's something a little bit odd about having a gingerbread construction contest to raise funds for researching juvenile diabetes.
Maybe these gingerbread houses aren't environmentally proper or particularly sustainable.
But they are impressive.
If you're in Seattle over the holidays, you can see them at the Sheraton Hotel until Jan 2nd and even help fund research on juvenile diabetes.
Some more examples are below.
sporte | December 2, 2007Usually, I wait until the end of December to take care of holiday-related shopping and shipping. This year, I've resolved to do better. This year, I'm hoping to ship holiday gifts before Christmas.
Fortunately, my SciBlings have come up with lots of great holiday recommendations to help you share science gifts with those you like and love.
I've compiled some of those suggestions here and I'll keep adding new ones as the month proceeds and people post them.http://scienceblogs.com/dispatches/2007/11/get_your_larry_craig_doll.php
Before we indulge the material world though, I'm going to…
