Approaching the term’s affirmation
Of seniors’ accomplished elation…
Lab cylinder’s code
Is a useful spring mode:
Through measured steps, reach graduation!

The metals denoted transition
Will occupy bridging position
Betwixt the groups main
That the Table contains
In elements’ chart-recognition.

A small bird sits in a tree, silhouetted against the sky of the early dawn. The moon is still visible in the sky.
Post week-and-a-half trip’s duration
Of lunar and space exploration…
To Artemis 2:
Welcome back, valiant crew,
With over-the-moon exultation!

Two roles, both chem-crucial, aligned here,
In artistic combo’s reminder;
Blend a bright-vivid tint
With an adhesive’s stint:
A paint is a pigment plus binder.

In blue’s lapis-lazuli fashion,
A natural pigment’s duration;
Now ultramarine
As synthetic, too, seen—
From beyond-the-sea inspiration.

A chem-in-art term: hue-degrading;
Intent of the artist, evading.
The “fugitive pigment”
As putative figment,
With color scheme, speedily fading.

Today’s early-April notation:
A moment of chem-contemplation.

The Table for chem settings formative
(With info, analyses normative),
Routine here oft frequents
In early-spring sequence:
Its hist’ry and themes tend exhortative!

This poetic form ever-thrifty,
With rhyme scheme predictable-nifty,
Here yields jubilant frame
Via element’s name:

An April routine starts anew, here;
Five lines and their rhyme scheme will do, here.
Eighth time at routine
Of the verse-science mien:
Thus, chem-themed “octet” to ensue, here.

Looking at this photo, you're struck by the windowsill in front, with the country lane winding through the green outside and that low gray house on the right. The yellow flowers on the sill really highlight the contrast between the dark room and the bright landscape. It all feels like a scene from an old memory.
My mother’s voice,
a distant summons.
Blades of light
piercing the dark.
White coats,
deep pain.
Circles on water,
the same yet different.
Shiver on the skin.
Atoms of life
crystallized
in memory.
— For my mother

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.

Will center a compound base-caustic;
Attention un-wavers
On limelight’s behavior,
As trips the light koniaphostic.

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.
