Over the years, we’ve acquired a few readers for our science.

But you were always the only one that mattered. Just you.

The way you flipped your hair back/massaged your bald head/scratched your buzz cut was always tantalizing. We could never look away from your beautiful blue eyes/green eyes/glass eyes.

But it’s not just your physical beauty that captivated us. It was the ineffable, like the way you smile after making a joke/holding our hand/anesthetizing a small animal. Or the passion you show for your job as a world-class scientist/nation-class scientist/very bad scientist. Among all those readers, only you won our hearts.

Happy Valentine’s Day.
