The artist spray-painted part of a chemical compound found in DNA on the road outside a lab where the double helix was unveiled 50 years ago.
Atop the design - described by one academic as "really nice" work - the artist wrote the word "Phospholipase".
any other geeky, academic graffiti you have come across?

[Blunderov] Very probably apocryphal - "Down with early Armenian church
music!"
(This is a dim and distant recollection gleaned from a book about
graffiti which I read once.)
Best Regards.

In one of the sidewalks on the campus of my college is
carved the line, "Ontogeny recapitulates phylogeny".
Never mind the level of discourse and artistic and
poetic endeavor you'll find on the walls of the
women's restroom in the library basement!

While not quite as academic as that found on your alma mater's sidewalks, I did take
note of this thought provoking inscription from a mens' restroom recently:
"PEZ rulZ"
