zip case trumpet animals
This beautiful pouch is printed with illustrations of the most popular trumpet animal: the stentor! This design will please any microbiologist who needs a new field kit , or wants an original excuse to discuss regeneration in protozoa.
Fun fact: this bag was designed with the help of Athena Lin, a student researching the regenerative capabilities of the stentor. "When I cut [the stentor] in half, they know which half is missing and they know they need to replace that half. This is crazy because it's one cell. How do they know what's missing? How do they repair themselves? We suspect cell division processes are at play because it looks like regeneration. I have found a few factors that may play a role but the end of my dissertation is not yet in sight!"
