Science Metropolis - Boston

A lot has happened in the world of science since the New Year and the only way to really express the discoveries and controversies is through a free-form rap.

Science Metropolis

is growing in fits

and there’s more to come 

if I can get more than three hits.

 

In the past four weeks

as the daily planet turned

methadone deaths rose

and humans were cloned. 

 

An outbreak of staph

was found in gay men

and a cholesterol debate

was sparked by Vytorin.

Cholera is spreading

through birds at Salt Lake

and a doctor in Boston can

now transplant kidneys that take

 

A bacteria was built

from artificial genes  

and cases of autism

linked to chromosome 16.

Meat from cloned animals

passed the test,

though the general population

doesn’t think it’s the best.

 

Henry Fountain at the Times

wrote about two new species:

A snail with several coils

and a kamikaze tree.

The trend of stem cell banking

is growing in the U.S.

and did you hear Columbus

may have spread syphilis?

 

So keep scanning the news

for scientific feats

and this humble Website

will produce the beats.
