Scientific Poet

A poem in the shape of an Erlenmeyer flask titled "Scientific Poet" that reads as follows: Through a twist, I have found a way. A poet and scientist, Experimenting all day. A lab of stanzas and verse, I mix both meter and rhyme. I create things that are diverse, Looking for a way to pass my time. Searching all thoughts for a new design, The sentences in my mind find ways to align. Showing me the right rhyme to complete a line, Through my hidden muse, one that is truly divine. Authenticity is shining, waiting to come out and be seen. There is much it wants to share, breaking free from within. My true self is so much more than words I type on the screen, There is a world waiting for me to explore, hidden beneath skin.

As a scientific poet, I experiment and search for new ways to view the world. I am a molecular biologist by day and a poet at night; the two intertwine in unexpected ways. Words help me explore what more there is to the work I do in the laboratory, balancing thinking and being. I hope you also find your muse; it makes life more exciting and fun.
