Are scientists funny? In a survey of more than 500 presentations at biology meetings, two-thirds of attempts at humor drew polite chuckles or none at all, and only 9 percent prompted enthusiastic laughter.  Almost 60% of talks included at least one attempt at humor. "That's higher than I would have thought. Good for the biologists," says Taylor Soderborg, a physician-scientist and scientific comms professional who was not involved in the study. Here's more from Nature, plus a link to the full study, published in Proceedings of the Royal Society B. Do you regularly give speeches and presentations? What's your approach to trying to add humor?
