Scientific esthetics- Made With Molecules. Some classy, some trashy, and some just plain cute.

If only there were more!

I give you "cute", ladies and gentlemen.

I've been wanting the serotonin one of these for ages! I've always thought that diagrams of chemical structures have a special beauty and elegance of their own.

(...Except ketamine. It is (appropriately) a weird, awkward mess, all perpendicular rings and weirdly placed amines...wtf, k?)

the shard in ketamine creeps me out...

Those trashy boxers made me blush. Shame on you, sunshinesky.

Cute. But expensive.

Ahh! I must have that oxytocin cuddle shirt! must! have!

Also, ketamine DOES look awkward.

...I'm building it with my molecular model kit right now. I'm a bit of a nerd.

Done with the ketamine model. It looks a bit like it'd make a good christmas ornament.

Mismatched, I've done the very same thing! That kit was a pain for organic chemistry because it was work, but it's so much fun to build random drugs and neurotransmitters and show them off to my friends...

I'm awesome.
