From Posters to Carnivorous Plants

Holiday shopping crunch time is upon us, but no worries, there are some guides out there for some geeky-cool gifts. At Bitesize Bio, Suzanne Kennedy recommends some Einstein posters for the lab, meteorite jewelry, and snow leopard-print lab coats. Scientific American's Kate Wong lists some books that could go well on a scientists' coffee table such as Tui de Roy's Galápagos: Preserving Darwin's Legacy and Felice Frankel and George Whitesides's No Small Matter: Science on the Nanoscale. Wired's Geek Dad has a series of posts with gift ideas. Ones that intrigue us include the Desktop Carnivorous Plant Set and the 200x microscope you can connect to your computer.
