A T-shirt from Frances Arnold’s laboratory bears the image of the laboratory’s Wolfird mascot, a combination of a wolf and a bird. Arnold uses the mascot to convey the message that when you culture molecules in test tubes, you can mix anything.
This particular light blue shirt was worn by Arnold during a trip with all of her lab colleagues. The names of all members of the team are on the back of the t-shirt.
Frances Arnold donated the T-shirt to the Nobel Prize Museum in 2018.

This plate with wells for 96 different samples was especially made for Frances Arnold’s experiments with enzymes. By lowering the plate into a water bath near boiling point, the test series could be kept hot, to examine the ability of the various enzymes to facilitate chemical reactions at high temperatures. The distances between the wells correspond to those between the tips of a pipette that was used to produce eight samples simultaneously. In later experiments, plates with wells could be purchased ready-made. The researchers then used this plate simply as a weight to hold down materials in the water bath.
