Every year, students around the world submit videos to a "Dance Your PhD" contest. The goal is to "explain your research through interpretive dance."

This year's fabulous winner, Weliton Menário Costa, explores kangaroo behavior & promotes diversity. It is, by far, the best I've ever seen.

This is great. I'd no idea PhD's could be so much fun. If only I'd studied harder!

This reminds me of #AdamShowman (may he rest in the stars) and his goofy parody:
