Dammit. I intended to space these out, but life got in the way.
I did get to post the Evolutionary Biology Valentine (and its additional verses), but that was it.
Now, all I can do (since it’s already Valentines Day in parts of the world) is a data dump. I suspect, though, that you will detect a pattern. (spoiler: the pattern says I am not a reductionist!)
Sonnet 116.1 (a Shakespeare parody, opposing reductionism)
A Reproductive Message (a song, based on an evolutionary psychology paper. Context at the link.)
What do women want? (A valentine) Despite the title, this is far less valentine and far more a comment on a particular article. Again, context at the link.)
Heart In A Jar. Remember when they made a heart (in a jar) out of stem cells and the cellular equivalent of duct tape? I do. These verses took that achievement and used it as a springboard. I don’t recommend these as real valentines, but if you have a special someone these really work for… consider yourself incredibly fortunate.
There may be a few more here and there, but those are all I can recall.
Happy Valentines Day to you and yours!
