Acetylcholine is involved in learning, attention, and memory. As a crucial component of thinking and recall, it also plays an important part in dreaming.

Dopamine creates feelings of desire, pleasure, and euphoria. Love-struck couples are simply awash in dopamine.

Serotonin is the neurotransmitter of happiness. Serotonin is responsible for feelings of joy, relaxation, and well-being.

• Neuroscientists, psychiatrists, doctors, or nurses
• Anyone with an interest in feelings and the fascinating ways our brain works.

Atomic Science Necklace

Bacteriophage Earrings

$ 24.99

Be the envy of the lab with these delightful T4 enterobacteria phages danging from your ears.

Carefully crafted from pewter to be exceptionally detailed, these phages measure 2.7 cm high with hypoallergenic stainless steel hooks.

Perfect for:

• Biologists, microbiologists, bacteriologists

Chromosome Necklace

$ 24.99

The chromosome is one of the most iconic forms in the realm of cell biology -- a carefully packaged matrix of DNA, RNA, and protein. This chromosome is depicted in the phase of mitosis known as metaphase, when its DNA has been replicated, and packaged into two "sister" chromatids in preparation for cell division (mitosis). At this phase of mitosis, microtubules connect at the chromosome's centromere, making the steel cord part of the design of the necklace.

The antiqued pewter pendant has a satisfying, but not excessive weight. It is the most unique and true-to-science chromosome necklace around. Great for wearing to the lab, classroom, conferences, and presentations.

Perfect for:

• Biologists, geneticists, doctors, nurses
• Teachers, professors, med students
• Anyone with an interest in biology or genealogy

Universe Necklace

$ 39.99

"Some part of our being knows this is where we came from. We long to return. And we can. Because the cosmos is also within us. We're made of star-stuff. We are a way for the cosmos to know itself."
--Carl Sagan

Here may be the only piece of jewelry in the world that attempts to capture our universe in such exquisite detail. In this magnificent pendant, we use an artist's logarithmic scale conception of the local region of the universe, with the Solar System at the center, inner and outer planets, Kuiper belt, Oort cloud, Alpha Centauri, Perseus Arm, Milky Way galaxy, Andromeda galaxy, and nearby galaxies. 

Our miniature universe is microprinted on a translucent disc within a steel and glass locket. When worn, it looks like a stylized black pendant with a dark interior, matching everything. But when you hold it up to the light, incredible detail bursts into appearance. The graphic was created by Pablo Carlos Budassi, Mendoza, Argentina (G+, Facebook) and recently went viral online. The pendant comes with a heavyweight gunmetal chain, available in a short length (18 inches) or long length (32 inches).
