This Is The Most Scientific Interpretive Dance You Will See Today


On Oct 24, 2011

 

SCIENCE DANCE! SCIENCE DANCE!

Oh, I'm sorry. I didn't see you there. I was too busy doing my science dance. Those unfamiliar with these most rhythmical celebrations of the scientific process might wonder: "What, exactly, is a science dance?" Thankfully, my good friend Finn and his trusty dog Jake are on hand to demonstrate, if not completely explain.

We live in a beautiful world, GeekOlogists, and here's why: Science dances are a thing. And not just on Adventure Time. GonzoLabs' annual "Dance Your Ph.D" contests challenges the world's most brilliant researchers to share their work with the world... in the form of interpretive dance. This year, Joel Miller, of the University of Western Australia, took the top spot with his video explaining his work on titanium hip replacements. Miller's video uses stop-motion, clever choreography, and everyday language to transform complex scientific ideas into... killer dance moves. You have to see it to understand, but once you do, you will be that much more prepared for your inevitable visit to the Aperture Science Enrichment Center. 

SCIENCE!

A ton more info is available at the Vimeo page proper, so go ahead and click through to make Bill Nye proud.

I definitely think Titanium Man and Bone Woman should be real superheroes. Or at least Mega Man villains.
