With college graduation around the corner, everyone seems to be looking for the perfect gift to get the grad in their life. When it comes to biology majors, finding the perfect gift might be a little more challenging. Finding something practical and science related is a task. But, no worries! Here are eight options for the biology grad in your life. You can find a gift for any personality and budget.

1. A science kit

This one is usually for kids, but aren't college students just big kids anyways? Put together a basket full of classic DIY science experiments. Some examples include: a bottle of soda and a roll of mentos or white fresh flowers with a bottle of water and food coloring. Looking for more inspiration? Head over to Pintrest for hundreds of DIY science experiments. Don't forget a pair of goggles!

2. Personalized lab coat

This would be the perfect gift for anyone going into medicine or lab work! For science majors, having their own lab coat they don't have to share is often a distant dream. A personalized lab coat would be the perfect graduation gift for any biology major. There are a handful of companies that will personalize lab coats for affordable prices.

3. Graphic sweatshirt/t-shirt

What bio major doesn't love a chance to tell the world they majored in biology?

4. Stickers

Have a smaller budget? Check out Amazon or Redbubble. They have hundreds of biology related stickers. From molecules to bio puns, they've got you covered. You'll find the perfect graduation gift in minutes.

5. A statement mug

Science majors drink lots of coffee. Make their early mornings in the real world more bearable with a statement mug. Pair it with a Starbucks gift card or a bag of their favorite coffee. This one is a great Etsy find, and this is another great one from Amazon.

6. Graphic notebooks

A career in biology requires hours spent taking detailed notes. Give them a head start with these beautiful, 100% recycled, notebooks. There is one for every interest. From anatomy themed to solar system themed.

7. Shark tea infuser

Know a marine biology major that loves tea? This one is for them. Now they can drink their tea in style. Try pairing it with a statement mug and a bag of their favorite tea.

8. Bone shaped pens

Any bio major going into medicine would love bone shaped pens. I mean, how cool?

Take the thinking out of your graduation shopping and check out these options! Every biology major would love to get any of these affordable finds. You can even mix and match for a more personalized gift.

7 Ways to Make Your Language More Transgender and Nonbinary Inclusive

With more people becoming aware of transgender and non-binary people, there have been a lot of questions circulating online and elsewhere about how to be more inclusive. Language is very important in making a space safer for trans and non-binary individuals. With language, there is an established and built-in measure of whether a place could be safe or unsafe. If the wrong language is used, the place is unsafe and shows a lack of education on trans and non-binary issues. With the right language and education, there can be more safe spaces for trans and non-binary people to exist without feeling the need to hide their identities or feel threatened for merely existing.
