Poetry of Science

09/25/2012

In the science community, a well-written essay does not consist of the artistic manipulation of language. This is why science articles are boring. A writer's skill in evaluating a topic, and simultaneously creating a pleasant read, with images that transcend the barrier from paper to reality is what defines a great writer from a mediocre one. However, scientists have deemed themselves too scholarly to vary, even slightly, from the norm of a vocabulary of science terms and opinions. But, they are not. In this I mean that scholastic individuals pride themselves on extensive vocabulary, and so do writers. Scholars boats of the skill of understanding the most convoluted subjects and explaining simply, just as poets do. In short, I hope, nay, I plead scientist to not view art or poetry as a distant cousin of science; but, instead view it as their artsy twin brother.
