Free the Science
ECS – priceless
Sometimes the person your shopping for is lucky enough to have everything they need. So often, dad’s are stuck in this category, and so, we inundate them with socks, ties, underwear, undershirts, and other undergarments.
Why not support their underlying love of science instead (see what I did there?)
Donate to ECS’s Free the Science initiative in their name and help make science free and available to everyone. It’s a gift that keeps on giving!

And of course, it’s only right to pair a virus with an antibody. This one is edible and will definitely make you feel better.
