Here's a tote bag drawn from a collection of notes taken by chemist, Ruth Maust during her PhD studies researching new carbon-based materials. In her words:
Specifically, most of my work was related to making polymers from circular molecules called "carbon nanohoops" (if you're familiar with carbon nanotubes, nanohoops are like slices of a nanotube). We can make carbon nanohoops with atomic-level precision (not yet possible for carbon nanotubes), so by stringing carbon nanohoops together in different ways, the idea was that we'd have a lot of control over the structure and properties of the final materials. The coolest part of working with these materials, which you unfortunately can't see here, is that they're super brightly fluorescent! - Ruth Maust
This sturdy canvas bag is reversible with a zipper pocket in a simple blue on one side, or you can flip it around and wear it with the printed lab notes design on the outside for everyone to see.

Recycled canvas is made with textile waste cuttings that are otherwise discarded as trash. Instead of filling up the landfill, these cuttings are collected and spun into yarn that is then woven into fabric that can be used again. You may notice some irregularities in the material, this is natural in recycled canvas, since the collected material varies in content.

Continued support
I have and will continue to make purchases from cognitive surplus. Affordable and quality, and that’s hard to come buy now a days. I’ve bought myself, sister, sister in law, and two friends gifts form cognitive surplus. I plan to do my mom’s Mother’s Day shopping here!

Perfect Electrician's Bag
I love the whimsical ton of this bag and it's nod to science and history. My husband likes this size zipper bag to keep various electrical connections and cables for his job -- he'll know what's in it because of the print. Great and novel Xmas gift.
Great wrapping paper. I would prefer if it came separate, but they do an excellent job wrapping the item
