Make Your Own Geeky DNA T-Shirt

Today’s geeky DNA t-shirt really appeals to the crafter in me. Three free genetics-related t-shirt patterns are available at the National Centre for Biotechnology Education at Reading UK: DNA code, RNA code, and GM beer label. All you have to do is print them out on t-shirt transfer paper using a colour inkjet printer (the outdated directions say dot-matrix). Hope you look as studly in your DNA t-shirt as this guy!
