Poetic Chemistry

Today at the Sceptical Chymist, Catherine wrote an interesting post on poetry in the scientific literature. One of the comments contained a link to this 1971 JOC paper, which is written in quite a unique style. I suggest that you take a look.

Also, as Catherine suggested, I tried to write some chemistry/biology related haikus, and here are my attempts.

For the chemists:

Stirring at reflux
Overnight. Leaky tubing
Flooded his office

(As a side note, that didn't ever happen to me, but a post-doc in my lab managed to flood the office below his lab with some tubing that wasn't properly secured. That office luckily belonged to one of the nicest faculty members here).

For the biologists:
Oh dear western blot
where is my protein hiding?
not on the membrane
