Hi! Your favourite* maker of science mugs is back!** Shop is open: thefty.org As ever, 50p from the sale of each mug is donated towards research at the @lshtm * Presumptuous but I'm standing by it ** Feels like a weird time to resurface on ye olde Twitter

Thefty has been dormant for the entire pandemic & my maternity leave. I haven't launched new designs & I've been AWOL on social media. And yet... the orders keep coming. Thank you so much! I'm excited to get back into the creative swing of things next year. Merry Xmas, everyone.

I got my 2nd #COVIDjab today. I also took my first trip on the Underground in almost 18 months. Blue skies ahead, you guys. Blue skies ahead. 🤞🏼
If you own my #measles mug, Maurice Hilleman's name should ring a bell! thefty.org CC @radiolab
Psst! I've streamlined my mug packaging to reduce waste. When you receive your orders, I'd appreciate any feedback. Thank you!

...and while I'm banging on about measles, here's a #scimug to go with your #provaxx sentiments! Virus particles are beautiful, the diseases they cause less so! folksy.com/items/7157401-Mea…

Hello! Popping up after a long while with some updates! I know I'm not the only one worrying about my impact on the planet. While Thefty doesn't produce much waste, I was becoming uneasy with using materials that aren't biodegradable. So expect some changes in your next order...
