Once it’s out,
It has all the handwriting
And labsweat in figures and captions.
Your going one step beyond
Deserves a light and a stage.
An article is a haute couture piece
For few but always an enchanted experience.
Science meets poetry
Once it’s out,
It has all the handwriting
And labsweat in figures and captions.
Your going one step beyond
Deserves a light and a stage.
An article is a haute couture piece
For few but always an enchanted experience.
Cannot believe it! Just reached 800 citations and ab H-index of 14!! What what? Just a matter of waiting 😊
Like a movie with no sound,
The stories unrolling in the lab
Are told by gestures and frantic moves
Pulling papers and plastics in the air.
The dreams of science
Are in squared frames
Hanging behind the door
But always lit in the heart of a scientist.
That long time had passed
And what took years to compile
Is now open to the world.
Curious eyes will undress it,
Critical thinkers will hold it
One day maybe against you.
Your hypothesis is breathing
And, alive, it can join other minds
In their travels
Drawing paths in a snowy desert.
Publishing comes at the end
And like parting leaves a mark
On the skin and in the memory.
Details seem minor and of no effort
But you know the price you paid
And the taste it left.
Experiences are joined
And the discovery is presented
Like the tale of your life
In the lab.
Always looking forward
We forget the taste of the past rides
In the lab.
Once assumptions,
Those crazy ideas are now believed
And found printed in the journals.
Through hard days
We learnt to trust
And believe the unreasonable
Until it became just a stepping stone.
