Holiday Spice Card

You know it's the holidays when you smell the spice cookies or taste the candy canes. This is certainly my favorite part! Celebrate the tastes of the holidays with stylized pictures of the molecules that remind us of family, friends, and festivities. (molecule key: chocolate = theobromine, cinnamon = cinnamaldehyde, clove = eugenol, ginger = gingerol, peppermint = menthol, sugar = sucrose)

DNA Tree Card

The outside face of this card shows an electron micrograph of a gene being heavily transcribed into RNA, an early and fundamental step of gene expression. Because of the shape, this is often referred to as a "Christmas Tree." The green tint on the micrograph enhances this association.
