When I presented some “scientist logos” the other day, I didn’t know where they came from. Eventually it was revealed that the first six of them were by Indian graphic deisnger Kapil Bhagat and, as I’ve just learned, the rest came from Prateek Lala, a physician in Toronto.

Ahh, send them to me and I’ll be sure to get you your own Jerry coin 🙂 The back is even better…
Late to the party.
Had to add another entry…
The crude handwriting of some famous biologist isn’t my fault… 😉
