[Poetic Engineering]: O polyphenol

A poetic impression by Bauke Steenhuisen of the dissertation ‘On the prediction of polyphenol properties’ by David Méndez Sevillano.

More folk, more food. More food, more waste. But not

Just more, the waste gets more nutritious too.

Reprocessing some new delicious brew

Nevertheless appears a Gordian knot


Not only to cut through but also to

Re-tie its hydrophobic, multi-phased

Ionic interactions, to be praised

By uninformed naïve consumers who


Are sipping from their fresh made jasmine tea

Unconscious of its juicy history.

Thanks to a coefficient called ‘LogD’


And grouping tools to model chemistry

We now have managed to steep tea from pee.

What a splendid new technology!


 

Bauke Steenhuisen (universiteit docent bij de faculteit TBM) en Jeroen Manders (zanger, acteur, tekstschrijver, componist en voormalig IO student) verdichtten tussen december 2014 en maart 2017 42 keer een Delftse afstudeerscriptie of proefschrift tot een sonnet. Illustraties waren van Ella Nitters.
