Science Icons

Seven geeky icons, with (what a surprise!) a biology/biochemistry bent. Please comment and credit if you take. Feedback always appreciated. 3 and 4 are from one of my non-lj friends; 1 and 5 from the science jokes website.

Hope you enjoy!

1.) 2.) 3.)

*sigh* I"m an organismal biologist (botanist to be exact) ...

What is #5? I want to say caffeine .....

Yep, five is caffeine.

WooHoo! I saw a T-shirt once that had Caffeine, Theobromine, and I forget what the 3rd one was.

Is that (points to icon) bone?

Probably ethanol.

They're actually florescent-stained microtubules. Florescent microscopy is awesome.

no, it wasn't ethanol -- it was another of the chemical cousins of caffeine/theobromine. Ah well.

Fluorescent microscopy is indeed cool. They did a lot of stuff with GFP and YFP upstairs.
