Team Brain showcases real scientific images of brain cells (astrocytes). Biomedical engineers are developing injectable physical supports, along with biological and chemical cues to help astrocytes repair without scarring after brain injury.  

THE SCIENCE | FRANCESCA MACLEAN

Francesca is as a biomedical engineer. Through her research she designed a material system that can help the brain repair after traumatic injury. This involves injecting a physical support into the brain along with biological and chemical cues required to control the scarring process after injury, allowing repair to take place.

THE ART | MAHNIE BLAKEY

Mahnie used fluorescent microscope images of the astrocytes (cells in the brain), injured brain tissue and the repair process. These images were captured by Francesca. These scientific images were used to create a beautiful layered brain artwork.

    We produce high quality shirts so you can wear them everyday and spark all of those science-ey conversations.

    Our shirts are made from a mid weight, 180 GSM, 100% combed cotton (aka a great shirt). They are also preshrunk to minimise shrinkage (phew).

    Shirts are sourced through AS Colour as they have high quality products and transparent ethical processes, see here.

    To minimise our enviromental impact our shirts are printed on demand with water-based inks and are shipped in home-compostable packaging (yay compost!).

  • OUR CHANGE MAKERS

    Shirty Science wants to change the world one shirt at a time.

    We use our profits to help organisations that are supporting diversity in STEM. We do this the only way we know how – making shirts!

    You can see all our Change Maker shirts here. All profits from the sale of these shirts go directly to the organisation the shirt is about.

    Are you part of a Change Maker organisation? Would you like a shirt? Let us know here.
