But it could use much wider application - not only for dissertations. I'm on the Editorial Boards of several academic journals, and believe that requiring every abstract to be summarized in a haiku would contribute a lot to the quality of scientific/ academic discourse - not only to comprehensibility, but even more to the articles' substantive content. I plan to fly this idea in the near future in one of these journals. I learned about your idea and this site from a brief report in “Haaretz” (our local version of the NYT) and think it’s terrific.

I wrote one on experimental film and haiku, so I would love to contribute a haiku to your site. Anyway - stunning idea.
