14 thoughts on “Scientific alliteration

  1. “Sister Susie’s sewing shirts for soldiers,
    Such skill at sewing shirts our shy young sister Susie shows,

    Some soldiers send epistles
    Say they’d sooner sleep in thistles
    Than the saucy(?) soft-shorn (?) shirts
    For soldiers sister Susie sews.”

  2. That’s great–it doesn’t even sound like they’re stretching it a bit for the sake of the alliteration; all the word seem apt.

    One of my favorite scientific paper titles is a poem: “A coprophagous moth on a three-toed sloth.”
