I can’t guarantee a great prize (other than an NPG mug, of course), but I couldn’t help but wonder what other nerdy but smart science mugs are out there, after I noticed this one in the kitchen of our office.

This belongs to an NPG editor and was done up for the grad students in the biology department at the State University of New York in Buffalo (this editor was a grad student there at the time). Coding the DNA strand are the names of the faculty in the department.

And the best part:

A little ribosome on the bottom, representing the grad students!

(Thanks Amy!)

Post a picture here of your nerdy but smart science mug!
