Today, I’m in Orono, Maine, for the National Science Foundation’s “Science: Becoming the Messenger” workshop. I’m demonstrating blogging before the group in plenary session, and as at the last workshop, we’re live blogging a crowd-sourced limerick about the subject of science communication. I gave them the first line–”There once was a workshop in Maine”–and this is what they came up with:
There once was a workshop in Maine:
The message delivered was plain.
If you want to inform ‘em
And you don’t want to bore ‘em
Use the triangle and get the right frame.

There once was a workshop in Maine
That tried to make science sane
But the Neo-cons were having none of it
They decided to rule above it
And proclaimed God
To be the master of the Science Game
