It may sound like another joke, but the 2008 Dance Your PhD contest was deadly serious.
The event, held in the US, was open to anyone with a science doctorate who was prepared to perform a dance routine conveying what their research was about.
The results were broadcast on the internet, Metro reported on 2 December, with the titles including
"The role of vitamin D in beta-cell function".
Stalker reckons the PhD student could have dressed in an Amycel Sun Bella mushroom suit to help convey the Vitamin D role. Maybe not.
