An ultra-cool set of posters! Dopamine is the one I am most familiar with and it’s a very interesting chemical not only because it causes our emotional responses, but because it controls the ‘reward system’ of our brain which in turn motivates us to repeat actions that we enjoy (even if they are not good for our overall health, as is the case with chemical addiction).
But rather than dwelling too much on the more serious effects of these chemical responses, focus more on the greatness of the posters!

Mendel’s Dream
Although frequently overshadowed by creatures that think and move, plants have been at the forefront of molecular and cellular biology since its inception— think micro RNAs, transposons, active demethylation, ‘decoy’ RNAs, and—oh yeah—a few findings by an Austrian friar.

Left Brain.
I am the left brain.
I am a scientist. A mathematician.
I love the familiar. I categorize. I am accurate. Linear.
Analytical. Strategic. I am practical.
Always in control. A master of words and language.
Realistic. I calculate equations and play with numbers.
I am order. I am logic.
I know exactly who I am.Right Brain.
I am the right brain.
I am creativity. A free spirit. I am passion.
Yearning. Sensuality. I am the sound of roaring laughter.
I am taste. The feeling of sand beneath bare feet.
I am movement. Vivid colors.
I am the urge to paint on an empty canvas.
I am boundless imagination. Art. Poetry. I sense. I feel.
I am everything I wanted to be.

For International Women’s Day, I wanted to say a hearty “thank you” to one of my favorite women in (science) history; Rosalind Franklin. Watson & Crick were awarded the Nobel Prize for their work on the structure of the DNA double helix, and she was unable to be awarded as she had died. But it was her famous Photograph 51 and her work in x-ray crystallography that led to the discovery Watson & Crick were made famous for.
