This T-shirt design couples originality with a variety of important aspects of both chemistry and chemical engineering.

Though the central design reads "AIChE," the letters are rooted in five basic laboratory tools and compounds that come together heralding the attendees of the AIChE National Conference!

I hope you all really enjoy my design and thanks so much for your votes!
