Ties: who wears them? I don’t, but I’m female and don’t have to. None of my male acquaintances wear ties either, unless they’re at a wedding or playing a concert or dressed up funny. These are the only three tie-wearing events I can think of, and that probably says a lot about me and the company I keep…
But if I were a guy, I’d be very tempted to buy one of these science ties – and then still never wear it, but at least look at it!
These ties are screen printed with images from an antique labware catalogue. Somehow I don’t think it would work as well with images from current labware catalogues: a 96-well plate just isn’t quite the same as a distillation column.

These are really cute! I went to a microbiology conference once where they sold ties where the designs were all images of different bacterial strains. Call me old school, but my favourite was the “E.coli one”:http://www.5clickstore.com/iawareables/product.cfm?ProductID=356
(and if you’re looking for birthday/Xmas presents in the same vein, Cambridge craft market sells similar ties to the Etsy ones but with typical “British” images like phone boxes and bicycles!)
I want a bow tie shaped like a px orbital.
Wouldn’t that be a three-dimensional tie? (I mean, with a deeper third dimension than ties usually have.) That sounds uncomfortable.
The problem with the p-orbital bow tie is that the far edges of the probability distribution would probably tickle people at some distance away from you as you pass by.
Or something.
I wear ties occasionally, but only when formality is necessary, or to intimidate students.
I think ties are sexy.
Not the ones Eva showed, though.
I’d be tempted by an RNA tie of the eponymous club, but it seems to have been a rather exclusive outfit.

Does this have anything to do with bouncing on Ikea chairs?
Oh, sorry, there I go, violating the policy again.
