First we had genomics. Then we had proteomics. Then we had metabolomics.1 Now we have poetryomics. Or at least we have the poetryome.
A new project sponsored by The Economic and Social Research Council (ESRC) -- a UK-based organization for research and training in social and economic issues -- aims to change that. Comprised of contributions from writers, scientists, and others around the world, The Human Genre Project seeks to spread the word about human genomics through short stories, reflections and poems.I rather like "the telomeric tale of the mouse's tail (after carroll)" by shardcore.
1Or was it the other way around?
