Apparently, nerds aren’t immune from tomorrow’s lovey-dovey festivities.

Katherine called my attention to these adorable nerd-love cards, of which the one at right is my favorite. (Come on—it’s an astrobiologist AND a pun! Albeit a terrible pun…)

And Nick’s running a contest again for scientifically themed Valentine’s Day cards or poems. He cites a cute one by 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.

It reminds me of a t-shirt my college Neuro 1 class created of the “Top 10 Neuroscientist Pick-Up Lines.” The only one I can remember is “I’ll show you what makes an action potential.”

Be good to your sweeties tomorrow! xoxo
