There’s beauty in the breakdown of these daguerreotypes.
Developed by mercury fumes and fixed with salts, the products of this process are extremely susceptible to decay. You can see more of them here, or you can visit the impressively large archive of them collected by The Library of Congress.
Show your Valentine how happy she makes you with these dopamine and serotonin necklaces by Anatomology. You can find them in my Thinx Gifts shop.
These silly science pillows by DENY Designs are some of the fun Valentine’s Day gifts available from my Thinx Gifts store.
Chemistry crayon labels from the QueInteresante Etsy store.
About the project:
Children play and draw with crayons practically every day, so why not make the experience more educational? This listing is for a set of 48 labels to stick in the crayons in a basic 48 pack of crayons so that while children are coloring, they are also exposed to the names of chemicals that will make those colors! So instead of thinking “I want green” they will think “I want Barium Nitrate Ba(NO3)2 Flame” and then when they take chemistry in high school and their teacher sets some gas on fire and it makes a green color and they ask the class what chemical it was your student will know it was Barium! Genius!

These fantastic Stellar Science Wonder prints from the Ink and Sword Etsy store are available separately or in a shiny metal collector’s box set.
About the project:
Ink and Sword’s Stellar Science series aims to inspire new interest in the areas of science, technology, engineering and math, known as the STEM subjects. These retro-styled inspirational prints reflect back to an era where a trip to the moon was not just the pinnacle of scientific achievement, it was the coolest thing in the universe to be an astronaut, explorer or scientist. Sparked with our preference to play in science halls and planetariums, chemistry labs and in nature, we hope that condition of wonder and imagination continues on for the future!

Mix up something good with this super cool Cocktail Chemistry Set from Think Geek.
About:
There are several rules for cocktails - 1. You must be twenty-one. 2. - A proper martini is made with gin and not vodka (sorry, but it’s true). And 3. - Constitutional isomers of dimethyl ether, when blended with a combination of citric acids and disaccharides are damned tasty.
If you can live by these rules, then you can be a certified scientific mixologist: one who is capable of using their immense intelligence to create astonishingly awesome alcoholic beverages. We’ve got your starter set of glassware right here. Beakers, vials and lab-stand right out of a mad-scientist’s laboratory.
Art of Science by Stephen Gaeta. In this project, Gaeta uses passages from significant historical science texts to form his images.

Artist Mia Brownell’s still-life paintings of fruit reference Dutch Old Master paintings while incorporating a very modern understanding of DNA, amino acids, and protein chains.
She has long been interested in the biotechnology industry and ways in which plants are genetically modified to thrive in the marketplace. “Food is the most profound relationship we have with nature.” says Brownell. “It’s the interaction of our bodies and agriculture.”
