Polls are open!

Okay, folks, let’s get this show on the road!  I’ve sorted the entries for the academic haiku contest into four broad categories to keep this manageable, so after finding a winner in each field, we’ll have a run-off for the overall best haiku of the bunch.*  Polls in this first round will be open through 11:59 PM EST, Monday, February 26.

I ask that you vote just once per category, but please do vote in all four.  Here they are:

Humanities
Physical science
Social science
Tech/computers/internet

*There were a few submissions that didn’t really summarize research or adhere to the rules, so to keep the polls a reasonable size I kept these poems out of the contest…doesn’t mean they weren’t great!
