Team Protein uses botanical illustration to showcase the study of proteins that transport inorganic carbon in photosynthetic cyanobacteria. Transferring these proteins into crop plants, such as wheat and rice, could help to improve food crop yields.

THE SCIENCE | JOE KACZMARSKI

Joe studies the structure and function of proteins. Proteins can be thought of as the cell’s machines; they carry out almost all the cellular processes that are required for life. By studying the shape of these molecular machines, we can understand how these proteins work, and come up with ways to engineer them for useful applications. One protein that Joe studies is involved in the transport of inorganic carbon in photosynthetic cyanobacteria. Transferring these proteins into crop plants, such as wheat and rice, could help to improve food crop yields.

THE ART | MICHELLE DAY

Through an alternative take on botanical illustration Michelle has attempted to capture Joe’s fascination with proteins. By incorporating elements of machinery into the organic forms she illustrates Joe’s perception of proteins as moving and behaving like machinery – like a living factory. The botanical illustration style reminds us that today’s exploration into the micro world continues to be as wild and wondrous as when explorers sailed around the world to discover new life. There is so much still to explore and discover.

  • OUR SHIRTS

    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!).

  • SHIPPING & RETURNS

    All shirts are printed and shipped from Melbourne within 14 days of ordering.

    Aus/ NZ Shipping: $10

    Everywhere else: $20

    You can return your shirt up to 30 days after purchase. Simply send the product back to us in the condition it was received for a new size or store credit.

    Sometimes mistakes happen so if your shirt isn't what you expected let us know and we can send you the right shirt.

  • 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.
