The history of science is crowded with stories about competitive researchers sprinting for new discoveries. First place gets patents, research money, and sometimes a Nobel. Second place gets a snarky note in the sidebar of junior-high science textbooks. While competition can foster innovation, scientific progress is retarded when researchers delay the publication of groundbreaking cancer research data in order to secure the most advantageous patents, or when research teams refuse to share information for fear of a licensing double-cross.

C is for cadence—Phrase endings in music replicate clauses or phrases in language...a phrase ending is called a "cadence" (Italian for drop or fall) and I'm curious about how that translates to poetry, where the line—end-stopped or enjambed— doesn't necessarily match the syntax of the sentence.
