Stefan, I and A Few Others

I dedicate this work to my PhD adviser, Prof. Stefan H. Bossmann.

Under the lull of a purple town,
a brilliance touched by eccentricity
incites motivation, weaved in freedom of thought.
A glorious rainbow rises in the dark rooms of sweat and sweet.
Every cyanine lights up my mind infinite;
I would hold a candle to those cells on the horizon.
Dreams and dreams, your loudest song alive!

Multitude of parachutes migrate in bright and blue
in the deepest darkness of the ocean bed.
As power of imagination charges,
bio-luminescence makes a leap from the ocean to CB 344.
Step by step, a party of molecules starts in a round bottom flask.
Fire, Fire! set alight those cells;
let them die and us live for a while.
A touch insanity flirting with risk, your grandest show!

Cyanine: A range of dyes that we synthesized in lab in order to image tumor
Parachutes: a metaphor for jelly fish whose luminescence is being used for radiation therapy
those cells: cancer cells
CB344: synthesis lab
