Swing that PhD Thesis! (video)

Posted on November 17, 2008 by

Some crazy outfit called Gonzo Labs is challenging PhD candidates around the country to post dance videos of themselves demonstrating what their thesis is about. I don’t even understand most of what these  theses are about. But I love that some folks are doing bad ass lindy hop to demonstrate the principles these science doctoral students are studying. 

Here’s Rachelle at Yale lindy hopping to the topic of "Structural analysis of phosducin and its phosphorylation-regulated interaction with transducin beta-gamma."

Now check out champion lindy hopper and MIT student Sommer Gentry, demoing her thesis on haptic communication.

Wonderful, super-nerdy stuff.

    Sometimes you just gotta bust loose!
    Seriously, dancing frees up all sorts of creative and positive juices that nothing else compares to.
