Now cranking activity higher
A vortex emerged from the mire
A pair then a trio
Elongated and 𝘤𝘰𝘯 𝘣𝘳𝘪𝘰
Even oscillating, they never did tire

There once was an active nematic
Whose motion was most acrobatic
Chaotically it swirled
The threads they all twirled
But the cause was rather dramatic

What happens after the simple shear flow breakdown in active nematics? Sometimes, a driven rhythmic oscillation 🎸 OK, I'll stop, no more rock-it science.
Not all my simulations are at the disco!

Since I haven't posted this here, I invite you to enjoy what I like to think of as the "Audiovisual Disco Abstract" for the preprint with @ricardalert.bsky.social 🔉(see:
bsky.app/profile/rica...).
One day "Audiovisual Disco Abstract" will be a required submission field to all journals 🪩
