I write blogs on pieces of sci history - would you have any books/Web pages you could direct me too? This sounds fascinating l
These deskmats look great, but I don't think I've seen any deskmats with a website watermarked on them. Please tell me that these are just for the renders, it'd be heartbreaking to have them on the final product... >

Hey, I respect your opinion on this. The rationale for.including is that it was a collaboration. Is it the name AND website? Ie if website was able.to be removed it would be acceptable? I don't know if it can for this round, but I can ask as even though they've sold a good number so far, it's a common complaint. >

Yeah, a styled name looks like a signature, small and unobtrusive would be fine. A website means I’ve got an ad sitting on my desk. >

OK. Fair comments. I suspect we can't change it as the product photos have been taken but it seems like this is a big deal that we've overlooked so if this is something we can change for future drops, we will. >

They’re awesome designs mate, I’m sure the people who’ve already bought don’t mind and you’ll be able to modify it for future rounds. Cheers :) >

Thank you >

The botany one looks awesome 👍 >

Thank you. DROP were really keen for that and I'm glad they went with it. Any other sci topics you think we should go for next time? >

Mycology! >

Second vote for mycology! >

Third vote for mycology! >

I forth mycology as well! >

Who googled "Atom" and took the image from the first result? >

You know, I debated with saying copyleft, knowing that MIT licensing does not require republishing source. However, I also know that including the text of the MIT License and attributing the source satisfies the requirements of attribution. So, maybe copyright infringement, but not necessarily. >

I wish the CS one had actual algorithmic runtimes or something like that. Looks like mostly diagrams without any context or meaning. I like the space one though, may order one of those. >

Thanls for the feedback. I got help from the CS community with what to include (I'm a chemistry teacher so it's not my area) but I appreciate we didn't hit everything. >

Where’s the chemistry one! I’d buy that and a biology one in a heartbeat lol >

Wasn't quote as popular in the initial discussion part to decide qhich to go with. Maybe one for the future >

FA has an epic amount of epsilon transitions 😎 >

Would buy if it didn't have the watermark/logo! >

Oh... Yeah, that's disappointing >

Cool deskmats! Wish drop had a EU based proxy because the import fees will almost double the price for me 😞 >

Yeah, it's not ideal, but  thanks for the kind words. >

You know having a high quality, big pad that resembles some complex (actual) scheme of an electrical or mechanical part would be really cool. >

Agree. I'll add it to the list for the next round. >

Oh really, that's amazing. Maybe a blueprint (actual blue background with millimeter paper) would raise even more people for it? >

Does the final product have that bottom left watermark with URL? >

EU stock ? >

We don't have a warehouse in the EU, but we do ship to the EU (and have a free shipping promo for orders over $50 to the EU this week). >

Would buy if it wasn't for the watermark. >

The watermark is an absolute deal breaker >

Does the space one have some obvious math mistakes like they did in the good old days. where they made mistakes to mislead the opponents in the space race. Like a metric to imperial mis-calculation >

I didn'rlt know that! That's a cool anecdote. I hope not - all images are from NASA archives so I'm hoping they got these ones correct. >

In that case they might contain some errors, since they should be historically accurate, thus said errors should be kept intact.

It was a nifty old fact that they did in the old days, since most knowledge of the old rockets are lost due time, those old ones even handmade where a lot more efficient than modern rockets. even reverse-engineering does not really help current day researchers, as just a small tap can alter the course of said rocket
