Café Scientifique: Jokes and Pranks in Science October 21, 2010

Joe Cain (UCL)

See:

"Every scientific discipline has inside jokes. Why? Dr Joe Cain, historian of biology at UCL, will bridge the gap between science and comedy to tell the amusing story behind one of biology’s most favourite practical jokes, the 'snouters'. We’ll discuss some of the social functions these pranks have in our communities. Bring one of your favourite jokes to share.
Hosted by Delia Forester"
