My Love for Cancer Research – A Poem
My love for science first began,
At university.
I learned about our many cells,
And their identity.
How cells divide mitotically,
How they have nuclei.
How nuclei have DNA,
How this is amplified.
It’s amplified through PCR,
A famous lab technique.
This brings me to my love for labs,
And all that science seeks.
The joy of lab work every week,
I simply can’t deny.
The peace of passaging your cells,
With microscopic eyes.
I’ve worked in cancer research fields,
For over three great years.
Manipulating cancer genes,
Eliminating fears.
I’ve helped to wipe away the tears,
Of children with cancer.
I’ve researched ways to treat children,
With neuroblastoma.
Though there is more work to be done,
Hope is alive indeed.
My fervent love for cancer work,
Will push us to succeed.

Short Science Poems:
Introduction to DNA
What Scientific Pathogen Am I?
A Career in Science
He finally saw the light.
After being uncertain of what to do,
His career goal’s in sight.
He envisioned himself in a lab,
Searching for cures left to right.
To help the sick and suffering,
To overcome their plight.
“One day I will help those in need,
Wearing my lab coat that is white!”
