Restriction endonucleases are enzymes that cut a specific sequence of DNA. These enzymes are like little molecular scissors and are among the most essential tools for genetic engineering.

At the Bio+Art meetup we hosted with Counter Culture Labs, Patrik D. showed us that Eppendorf tubes can be made into simple geometric structures by clipping the cap into one another.

On Jan. 26, we hosted a “Bio+Art” Meetup with Counter Culture Labs. We had about a dozen people show up to make biology-inspired crafts.

Patrik D. brought various lab equipment for making viral capsid models.

Jewelry has always been an outward form of self-expression and can often lead to conversations. So, why not use jewelry to start conversations about science?

Who doesn’t love cute fluffy creatures with beady eyes? When you add science to that mix, it is pure awesome! Here are some of our favorite science plush toys.

Science is not just a class you take in high school.  Science is in everything around you: the flowers and trees; your own body; the components in your smartphone; and the stars beyond the skies.  Most importantly, science is a way of thinking, a way of infinite curiosity, and a way to innovate for a better world.

At Science Couture Labs, we aim to:
1) promote scientific literacy and logical reasoning
2) inspire kids and adults to participate and consider careers in science and technology
3) make smart the new cool

Science Couture Labs is a blog about experimental ideas for science outreach in all kinds of mediums, especially with new technologies.  Here, we will share our projects as well as highlight the amazing works by others.
