AAAS/Science Dance Contest

Post by Alyrium Denryle »

I am not sure whether this ought go here or AMP, because this is both art and science... Mods if you find the location does not suit you, by all means.

In any case,I joke around about how I should use an interpretive dance to explain my research to people. I would need a cast of five. In fact, joking around about using interpretive dance is rather common among pretty much every group of biologists I have ever been in.

AAAS and Science made it official with a Dance your Ph.D contest. Here are the four winners, in the Grad Student, Post-Doc, Professor, and Popular Choice categories.

Science, where the winners were announced and the dances explained somewhat

Now I know where my professor gets it!

This is the guy they want to use to win over "young people?" Are they completely daft? I'd rather vote for a pile of shit than a Jesus freak social regressive.

It probably is. I have a friend who is a med student now. When he was taking O chem, he did an interpretive dance in the physical science building about his struggles. On the fly. It helped he was a bio/theater dual major.

Me, I have an anti-predator dance choreographed in my head.
