"We both really liked Bob Dylan and we thought the quotes really fitted nicely with what we were trying to achieve with the title," Weitzberg told The Local.
The men said they soon discovered three other colleagues at the school were big enough Dylan fans to incorporate the singer's lyrics into their work.
"We're not talking about scientific papers -- we could have got in trouble for that -- but rather articles we have written about research by others, book introductions, editorials and things like that," Weitzberg said.
The men said they have a wager where whomever can get the most Dylan quotes into their work before retirement will be treated to lunch by the others in Solna, north of Stockholm.
"I would much rather become famous for my scientific work than for my Bob Dylan quotes," Weitzberg joked. "But yes, I am enjoying this!"
