Dance your doctorate, 2021

[Mation]

Science (the journal) has a competition I hadn't heard of, that does what it says on the tin. My toes started to curl within nanoseconds of watching the the winner through my fingers, but I sort of like the idea. I think.

Ok, so the competition is actually called 'Dance your PhD,' but my title is alliterative, and thus better.

So without further ado, for your morbidly compelled pleasure, the winner is...




Not seen the others yet, and the page wouldn't load properly, so I googled the video title plus YouTube, and found the link directly, in case you want to be judgy with the rest

I made it to 1m13

I mean, it's wonderful, but my lips and my eyes puckered up to uncomfortable levels

One of the doctoral students here presented their thesis to us as a one person rap battle thing.

Remarkably it was neither as bad, nor as as good, as you might imagine.

Tellingly I have no idea what their thesis was about.

I didn't think it was that bad - a bit shit yes, but there are worst 'songs' in the charts.

I like that one better (TEDness aside). Made it to 3:39 before the usual. Will probably come back to it, though!

There are still charts?

Pfft! You young people!

These videos make a good replacement for early 2000s Eurovision

I managed to watch all of the first one. Maybe it was years of listening to nerdcore gave me a tolerance.
