For my birthday this year, a dear friend got me something she knew I'd like: a gorgeous metal cuff bracelet with the periodic table on it. Ah, she knows me well. For today's installment of Sci Art BLITZ! I wanted to introduce you to the artist that made this gorgeous piece.

Molly Spilane lives just outside Minneapolis, MN and is the owner of Etsy shop Unique Art Pendants. She has sold over 10,000 pieces on Etsy! From her shop description, "Spilane's graphic creations are known for her use of vintage illustrations, antique flora and fauna designs, and heartwarming retro images. All items are designed by Molly Spilane and all finished items are made and completed solely by Molly Spilane using a mix of commercial and handmade supplies."

It’s Time to Stand Up for Science

If you enjoyed this article, I’d like to ask for your support. Scientific American has served as an advocate for science and industry for 180 years, and right now may be the most critical moment in that two-century history.

I’ve been a Scientific American subscriber since I was 12 years old, and it helped shape the way I look at the world. SciAm always educates and delights me, and inspires a sense of awe for our vast, beautiful universe. I hope it does that for you, too.

If you subscribe to Scientific American, you help ensure that our coverage is centered on meaningful research and discovery; that we have the resources to report on the decisions that threaten labs across the U.S.; and that we support both budding and working scientists at a time when the value of science itself too often goes unrecognized.

In return, you get essential news, captivating podcasts, brilliant infographics, can't-miss newsletters, must-watch videos, challenging games, and the science world's best writing and reporting. You can even gift someone a subscription.

There has never been a more important time for us to stand up and show why science matters. I hope you’ll support us in that mission.

Thank you,

David M. Ewalt, Editor in Chief, Scientific American
