hey if anyone here makes , or wants to prototype something and then make your million on kickstarter or whatever, or is also just a big nerd like me, please consider the following ideas:

1. a pendant of a single clathrin triskelion (bc there's someone doing the entire vesicle but IT'S 198 DOLLARS FOR THE PENDANT AND I'M POOR)

2. a desk toy that is magnetized clathrin triskelions so you can assemble and disassemble and play with them

(for wtf is clathrin, see pic)

Follow

for further wtf is clathrin, when a cell needs to make a bubble - a vesicle - for a certain purpose, like it wants stuff outside of itself to come in or vice versa, clathrin is a little twirly-three-legs dude that hooks together to help form that bubble by being the 'cage' around it.

for why i like them so much, listen, i don't even know man, i just think it's pleasingly elegant to look at, see attached meme for more information
