We see more M make slow speed,
light heat make thick hot layer,
more micro make more spin near wall.
Also, hot from electric and warm
from move make more hot,
so need in work like earth heat take, oil get, and hot change machine
in hole thing."

A poem by JL Tooker (aka jlynn) written over a NASA image of the Egg Nebula; The poem reads: no AI / no paint no chalk no line / a star / hurling itself toward unmaking / light breaking through dust / a mark / in the dark. The image: In the centre an opaque cloud of grey gas hides a star. Two strong beams of light from the star emerge from large holes in both sides of the cloud. The central cloud is surrounded by concentric, wispy shells of gas, illuminated by the star’s light. The shells reflect extra light where they’re hit by the twin beams. A crowd of smaller stars with cross-shaped spikes over them surround the nebula on a black background.
Which came first--the egg or the universe?

On his kiss my gloom
deliquesced to a puddle
Me, too.
He painted
an elm deliquescing
its branches
upon my trunk.
The results
tickled us both.
I was fungal;
he fungi,
our bodies fruited.
As we tired
we deliquesced
back to earth.
Ode to #Lanmaoa asiatica
Boletes found under pines
are delectable- but taken raw,
will make you see little people
(like the Nac Mac Feegle)
running on your clothes,
your plate, the floor, a trip
to drive anyone up the wall.

Photograph of a stadium concert bathed in golden light. Text overlayed on photograph reads: a riff generates a reaction an equation must be neat. Top left text reads: a survey of radial velocities in the zodiacal dust cloud. Bottom right text reads: Nathan Curnow (c)
Borrowing its title from the PhD of Brian May, Nathan Curnow's 'A Survey of Radial Velocities in the Zodiacal Dust Cloud' marries the wonder and vertigo of scientific discovery with that of music making.

A “NOVEL” Story of Life in Salt In a soft and salty embrace You were hiding In oblivion But deep down wanting to be found and known Who knows if you found me or I found you But YOU tiny life Destined to be known It’s a story of your survival And a redefinition of my work as you came and changed the whole course of it I gave you a microcosm Stressed And depressed Like a bygone Mars? Like I was searching for you You grew Not one Not two But three of you And science will come to know you With a name and a personality For the very first time In its entire lifetime Your existence Evolving in pigments Yellows and whites And reds
You love all whether its sodium chloride or epsomite and that makes you bright and you can also hide for an indefinite time? because spores you got and your genes say a lot about your dormant plot and the ancient style of sustenance of you all As much salty is planet Mars As apt you are To have flowed in the brines of early Mars? So yes a lot is yet to be thought But YOU Will always be the offspring of AstrobiologyOU And You are mine For eternity ~ Anushree Srivastava
Today is National Poetry Day!
Here is a poem written by one of our former PhD students Dr Anushree Srivastava about her discovery of novel microbial species
You can find her blog on our website and you can listen to Anushree read her poem!

Volcanologists study eruptions.
Vulcanologists study restraint.
One reads magma’s moods,
the other channels logic through pressure.
Both wear heat like a second skin.
Only one is surprised when it explodes.

Hi poetry fans! This is the second stanza of my poem "Seven Lessons" inspired by reading physicist Carlo Rovelli's amazing little book "Seven Brief Lessons on Physics."

A short poem in black text on a light gray background reads: the limitations of being valuable | adhdpoetry.substack.com
From a blackout poem of one of my published papers, about what my postdoc cost me.

Mining my postdoc for trauma to write poems about. Then I realized what great blackout poems I can make from the abstracts of all my published scientific papers.
Come for the poems, stay for the tea ☕

A quote from Margaret Atwood's 1990 interview in THE PARIS REVIEW. The quote is: "The genesis of a poem for me is usually a cluster of words. The only good metaphor I can think of is a scientific one: dipping a thread into a supersaturated solution to induce crystal formation." The posted poem uses some terms related to solution chemistry in building on this vivid image!
One metaphor most vivid for poetic inspiration: /
The spark of creativity in supersaturation. /
A sudden-seen assembly: solute’s newly found formation /
Yields crystallizing product from excessive concentration.

A photo of the moment of totality from central Ohio during the April 2024 solar eclipse.
One year since a 3 p.m. midnight,
An opportune pause in the sunlight;
A brief interaction
With solar subtraction:
Eclipsing occasion in hindsight.

A photo of several golden daffodils, in honor of William Wordsworth's birthday and his poem "I Wandered Lonely as a Cloud." The limerick in the post links some of the vivid images from Wordsworth's poem to some related STEM jargon and concepts (taking significant poetic license to do so!).
A fluttering, dancing occasion
‘Twixt floral and bay wave equations?
The hue of the daffodil:
Absorption of xanthophyll!
Chem words, worth poetic persuasion.
