Poetry about Science???

As if it weren't bad enough that physics has crept into polite chit chat, now we have poets writing about, of all things, science!
"There is something vital
about the Passiflora auriculata,

which over a million years varied its cyanogens

to discourage feasting insects..."
writes Kimiko Hahn. You can read about her in yesterday's NY Times. I'm wondering if you right-brainers might be led to converting bio notes to sonnets -- and would that raise or lower test scores?
