Description: “Seeing this gradation and diversity of structure in one small, intimately related group of birds, one might really fancy that from an original paucity of birds in this archipelago, one species had been taken and modified for different ends” wrote Charles Darwin in his book The Voyage of the Beagle. What Darwin thought were completely different species of birds, which he collected during his voyage on the Beagle, in fact turned out to be different members of the same species. Yet their remarkable differences, especially of the beaks, fascinated Darwin and helped him cement the ideas of transmutation of species and Evolution.
Description: A colorful microbe-themed design with the phrase “What doesn’t kill you mutates and tries again”. It’s a witty take on survival, evolution, and the persistent nature of microscopic life. Perfect for science lovers, microbiologists, lab workers, and anyone who enjoys smart humor with a touch of sarcasm.
Description: Of all the creatures that ever lived on planet Earth, Tardigrades are perhaps the toughest. These little indestructible water bears can survive all the extremes that we can throw at them. They survive in extreme hot temperatures, extreme cold, even lethal radiations. They can even survive in Space! It is believed that these little units are probably already living on the moon after hitching a ride with some of our rovers.
