Inspire Your Science Passion with Atoms to Astronauts Palaeontology Notebook

In this article I highlight an excellent notebook which is sure to be a great gift for all palaeontology enthusiasts out there.

Atoms to Astronauts are a small UK business, set up in May 2021 by Chemistry teacher Damian Hardacre. Damian saw a gap in the market for a gift that was scientifically accurate. The result has been a multitude of scientifically accurate themed hardcover and soft cover notebooks, mugs, as well as digital prints and desk mats available to buy from the Atom to Astronaut website, Etsy and Drop.com.

The Atoms to Astronauts science notebooks are a fantastic gift for someone passionate about science. There are many notebook themes available from space exploration to chemistry, physics, and geology. They also have palaeontology themed notebooks both in hardback and paperback form. The notebooks are size A5 and handmade in the UK with FSC paper. The notebooks are fountain pen friendly, and the ink will not bleed through.

Palaeontology is a subject that is steeped in history, and it is great to be able to see palaeontological history displayed in notebook cover form. The palaeontology notebook features historically significant imagery from Othniel Marsh’s Stegosaurus to Mary Anning’s drawing of Plesiosaurus macrocephalus.

There is also a weird and inaccurate dromaeosaurid depiction displayed on the cover, but I have not had any luck with tracking down where this image came from online. Despite this, the notebook oozes palaeontological history and is a fantastic way to show your passion for palaeontology and natural history. You can even take it out with you when you are fossil hunting if you want!

I received my notebook as a birthday gift and could not be more thrilled with it. I use my notebook to write down blog posts and website ideas for my palaeontology website. It really helps to have palaeontological imagery on the front cover, inspiring me to think of ideas for blog posts and fact files for the website. The Atoms to Astronaut notebooks are of a high quality and are a brilliant gift idea for anyone who is passionate about science. I highly recommend checking out their website!

I hope you have found this article helpful, especially if you are thinking of a scientific gift for someone or just want a new notebook for yourself.

I will be focusing on new dinosaur fact files for the profile page over the coming weeks, so keep an eye on the dinosaur profile tab for when they drop. You can find all my science communication links at the scicomm links page. If you are new to the website, do explore everything the website has to offer.
