An Oxford graduate student by day and a scientific activist by night, Nick Anthis isn't letting his Ph.D. research in protein structure get in the way of defending scientific and social progress.
As the Holiday That Will Not Be Named approaches rapidly, I have a little request for my readers and the blogosphere at large. Two years ago, The Scientific Activist introduced the blogosphere to valinetines, scientifically-themed valentines named after the amino acid valine. Here's a classic example from my friend Josh Siepel:
You've wounded me, dear;
And how can it be?
You've reached in and disabled
My p53.Something is growing,
You've heard the rumour
Love grows in my heart
And it isn't a tumor.
Get the picture? Good, now it's your turn to write your own valinetines. Get those creative juices flowing, and then either email your own valinetines to me or post them on your blog and let me know. Then, on Valentine's Day, I'll post my favorites on the blog and link accordingly. In the meantime, check out more valinetines here.

This is the first I have ever heard of valinetines--I'll have to try my hand.
Meanwhile, some more traditional untraditional valentines:
