Just the Right Words Janet Kuypers 3/26/19 You might think that mathematicians and science geeks aren’t creative. But those are the guys who theorize all of those crazy ideas — I mean, one of those science dorks had to come up with a big bang theory, with no evidence to back it up. Right now they’re talking that maybe there are multiple universes that can occasionally bounce into each other and cause things like the big bang. That’s the kind of stuff out there now, straight from the minds of some of those mathematicians and science types. So I made a point to read the news today, an article that, in lieu of one-sentence summaries of research proposals, some scientists are submitting a haiku. They call it a “sciku”. I now hear that since I have written a poem for every element in the Periodic Table, that the journal Science recently published a collection of haiku about the Periodic Table. I thought I was the only computer science engineer who decided to go the way of the poet. But at least some of those scientists have caught on to what I knew all along. That sometimes a little creativity and just the right words could make science beautiful to everyone.
