Loading ...Jericho! put out a great video last semester asking their professors “how did they dance?,” and finally they have their answer. Professors, grad students and post-doctoral researchers have them beat in the departments of humor and embarrassing things that possibly should not be on the Internet.
Basically, people were invited to dance out their dissertations:
The contest is open to anyone who has (or is pursuing) a Ph.D. in any scientific field, such as physics, chemistry, biology, psychology, anthropology, or in science-related fields such as mathematics, engineering, linguistics, bioethics, the history of science, etc. regardless of whether you’ve remained in academia.
Below, two videos from UC Berkeley grad students and our favorite pick from last year’s contest.
From Aaron Esser-Kahn, “Protein Cross-linked Hydrogels,” UC Berkeley, expected 2009
From Josh Fisher, “I. The land-atmosphere water flux across plant, ecosystem, global and social scales. II. GIS and spatial analysis for environmental justice and wildlife,” UC Berkeley, 2006
And last but certainly not least, our favorite video (OK, it’s because of the loincloth):
From Brian Stewart, “Refitting repasts: a spatial exploration of food processing, cooking, sharing and disposal at the Dunefield Midden campsite, South Africa,” University of Oxford, 2008
