The AAAS (American Association for the Advancement of Science) has sponsored its second Dance Your Ph.D. contest and the winners are in! The contest asked scholars to express their Ph.D. in dance form; the contest was open to anyone who has (or is pursuing) a Ph.D. in any scientific field or in science-related fields.
As the web site says, "the human body is an excellent medium for communicating science--perhaps not as data-rich as a peer-reviewed article, but far more exciting." You can see the winning YouTube videos and the rest of the submissions on the 2009 AAAS/Science Dance Contest web site.
Below is the winning Graduate Student entry from Sue Lynn Lau for her Ph.D. dissertation "The role of vitamin D in beta cell function" from the Garvan Institute of Medical Research / University of Sydney, Australia. For an explanation of this dance, click "(more info)" to the right of the video on YouTube.
