‘Bad Science Jokes’ has been amusing the internet for more than a decade now. Originally, the project began as a high school Tumblr project for founder and entrepreneur Melissa Church. One year later, in 2014, ‘Bad Science Jokes’ established itself on Instagram and Facebook, where it continues to be incredibly popular. The content is amusing with a nerdy twist, which is why so many people (including us!) love it.
At the time of writing, the project’s Instagram account boasts an impressive 764k followers! Meanwhile, its Facebook page has 276k dedicated fans.

Going invisible can be psychological. If you're a bit dirty, have a hi-vis vest on and steel toe caps, and you're quiet, a lot of people will ignore you. EDIT: I believe the artist Banksy uses this trick often. I learned about it from his book, and then learned it was true when I had a job that required me to dress that way.
During an earlier in-depth interview with Bored Panda, Melissa of ‘Bad Science Jokes’ shared her thoughts on staying curious as adults, when we’re all overwhelmed with stress and responsibilities.
She told our team that you can get a lot done with even small periods of free time. And your best approach to learning new things is being deliberately incremental.
“It's imperative to find time to learn every single day because when you stop learning, you stop growing as a person!” she told us earlier.

I mean I love being adjacent to the ocean, the smell of the air, the sound of the waves, a soft sandy beach and a gentle breeze. That’s it.

“It doesn't have to be something time-consuming. To stay curious every day can be anything from looking up the definition of a word to just asking a question about how something mundane works," the founder of ‘Bad Science Jokes’ said.
“Personally, I like following social media pages that give you a fact of the day, or similar. It gives me a chance to learn something while still going about my daily work!”

Because it knows how important its work is for the environment and it knows that it does better than anyone else. It takes great pride in his work as it should. Meanwhile, many engineers have great ideas and abilities, too, but because rollercoasters and AI glasses promise more revenue than flood protection or renaturation, no one wants to hear about the latter.
According to Melissa, one of the things that you may want to stay up-to-date with is the field of artificial intelligence and how it is rapidly changing. This is important for your personal media literacy and general awareness, not just your career.
“I think everyone should be educating themselves on artificial intelligence. I have seen images and videos that will cause me to do a double-take to see if it was real or fake. The technology is advancing extremely quickly. We need to educate ourselves in how the technology works, how to spot A.I., and how to properly use it.”
Meanwhile, during another interview, Bored Panda asked Melissa to share her perspective on what lies at the core of true intelligence, as well as why it is so valued in society.
For the founder of ‘Bad Science Jokes,’ true intelligence and smartness mean being patient and waiting to respond.

I really like this one! It’s a weird trifecta of music, electronics, and nerd-dom.
“The most intelligent people I've met seem to really take their time with a reply during a conversation. They are not quick to anger or excite, they look at all the facts and then come to a decision,” she shared with us.
“I feel the tech industry, in general, has helped to change the definition of 'nerd' from the stereotypical caricature we see on television to some of today's wealthiest, most successful people.”

Never order a medium pizza even if you think the deal is better. It is not. Large pizzas are almost inflation-proof.

“When we look at who is behind all of our favorite products, we see these extremely intelligent people who had a crazy idea and made it work. Things we cannot live without! The device you're reading this on was developed by some extremely smart people and made easy to understand for those folks like me. Ha!" Melissa told Bored Panda earlier.

“Society sees that it takes some exceptionally intelligent people to make our day-to-day lives what they are. Just a couple generations ago technology wasn't anywhere near what it is today, and having parents, grandparents, and ourselves, see just how far we've come in that regard, reminds us just how important the 'nerds' are!”

Told my Dr. that when I am stressed I eat, especially carbs and all I can reach. She just responded "So you're human."

What’s your go-to method of staying up to date with science topics and fresh developments? Do you read the latest science news online, choose physical books or science journals, listen to audiobooks or podcasts, or enjoy watercooler chats and memes the most?
Which of these memes did you like the most, and why?
None of these things will be on the final exam, but if you want to share your brainy insights, feel free to join the conversation in the comments!

Firstly, how do you 'persuade' an ant to do anything, and secondly, if it's that easy, why do we have flea circuses but not ant-based ones?

Fair point...not that there's anything wrong with absolutely deranged sentences - I certainly wouldn't want to live in a world without them.

Also kids from the 90's. My daughter loved dolphins and when she was 8, she wanted to become a marine biologist. And guess what: she is one right now.

Some day, I'm going to dig up that photo of 14-year-old me in 1993, wearing a funny hat and with a baby raccoon on my head. A baby raccoon named Bondar.

You could use DuckDuckGo, which won't harvest all your information and actually works better.

Are they different colors to people with red/green color blindness? On a slightly related note, my late husband was an artist with oil pain and a tattoo artist. He was red/green color blind. The question everyone asked him when they found out they always asked how he could paint and tattoo such beautiful pieces of work while unable to differentiate those colors by sight. He always got a good chuckle by the look on their face when he responded, the containers tell me the color name.

Too bad the Bored Panda sign cut out the last bit. I looked at the original and it is supposed to say "I found out lots of things about genome sequence."

Bold of you to assume there weren't any abductees being probed on alien ships somewhere on and before November 1st, 2000.

Centaurs do not have exoskeletons and therefore are not insects. You're welcome.

Just to be "that (bat) guy," there were two fifteen-part Batman film serials, one in 1943 and the other in 1949. The "1960" movie referenced here was made in 1966. This will alter the post's math somewhat.
