Nerdy Science Blog

Inspired by all the valentines cards created last year, I created the following MacConkey agar plate culturing the love colonies.

The image is modified and edited from this and this.  I’m not good with picture editing, so it doesn’t look real and the love shape is misshapen.  Let’s spread the love to the bacteria!

It’s going to be Valentine’s Day two weeks later, and it’s never too early to think what to prepare for your Valentine. First of all, you need a Valentine’s Card, and these are several Valentine’s Day Cards ideas.

The following Darwin, Sagan, Newton, Curie and Einstein valentines were created by Ironic Sans.

Neatorama was also being inspired and created several science valentines LOLcats, which included Archidemes, Avogadro, Tesla, Hawking, and Pavlov.

And here comes Nicolaus Copernicus.

Bad Astronomy also spread love to Mars.

This is my favourite, The Love Gel!

Jack of Science also created lots of lovely nerdy Valentine’s cards

“You’re perfect in every single way, all the way down to your DNA.  I wanted you to know I care, and that we’d made a great base pair.”  How sweet is that!

If your picture editting skill is not as good as the people above, why not consider hand made your own Valentine’s Day poster?

Or write your Valentine’s message on the drugs.

Another easy way out is buying gifts online!  Perhaps you can consider buying nerdy tees from YellowIlbis, like Theobromine Heart Jersey t-shirts.  There are different colour for this tee featuring a heart with the chemical structure of theobromine (theobromine is the methylxanthine alkaloid present in cacao beans), which are raspberry melange, brown melange, and pink melange.

As gifts for geeky guys, why not consider the t-shirt featuring sextic equation for a heart surface?  It comes with red, navy, and also red for women.

What’s your 2009 Valentine’s Day idea?
