Today’s Whimsy is brought to you courtesy of Science Magazine and the AAAS, who jointly sponsor a competition called “Dance Your PhD”.
Science Magazine explains the competition (links omitted):
The competition challenges scientists around the world to explain their research through the most jargon-free medium available: interpretive dance. The 36 Ph.D. dances submitted this year include techniques such as ballet, break dancing, and flaming hula hoops. Those were whittled down to 12 finalists by the past winners of the contest. Those finalists were then scored by a panel of judges that included scientists, educators, and dancers.
Cool!
