I’m not typically into jewelry, but when I saw Surly-Ramics, I knew I needed one. Surly Amy (who’s also a Skepchick) is a wonderful artist who produces awesome skeptical, atheist, and science themed jewelry (amongst other things). I had been lurking on Etsy, waiting for the perfect color, but I finally found exactly what I was looking for:
Yep, that’s Darwin’s sketch of the tree of life. As a female evolutionary biologist, I’m pretty much required to get this due to overwhelming awesomeness (plus, I loved the color). I’ll definitely be wearing this to my evolution class and lab!
Thanks, Amy!

Dm you fail >.>
Nice picture! I need to get some sciency things to wear. So many things to choose from. Yet chances are I will likely get something that can tick off people.

I've been resisting a Surly piece for quite some time. All, the trials of unemployment.
There's a local chiropractic clinic hiring. If I took a woo job to earn money to buy skeptical paraphernalia, does that make me a horrible person?

Very nice. And with mothers day coming up soon I think I may very well get something similar for Mrs me. Next time though, can you get someone else to take the photo so its better posed. :)

I don't want to be rude, but since you are a biologist, it is probably ok for me to ask the question which is normally rude in a social situation. Are you ovulating?

Get rid of my previous comment, if you don't feel comfortable discussing it.

ROFL Paul can't you just say "nice boobs"? (I'm guessing that was the reference, but I really have no idea what the hell he's up to)

So, ovulating. Weirdest question of the day, or of the blog, ever? Maybe next we should head over to PZ’s blog and ask if he shaves his balls?

I assumed the “ovulating” comment was a joke, but regardless it seems to be in poor taste…

No, it isn’t a joke. I was afraid to ask, but after considering the fact that Jen is a biologist, I decided to ask that question as a pure scientific inquiry.If you don’t understand and have misunderstood, watch the Discovery Channel. I’m sure Jen knows what I am talking about.

Ha! that’s funny, I ordered a similar one today. It’s got the Darwin tree but circular and bright blue. This will be my third one, I’m addicted now!
