50 Funny Science Jokes And Memes That Don’t Require An IQ Of 300 To Get

Science and humor go surprisingly well together; this Facebook group is a perfect example. Since its creation in January 2020, it has aimed to entertain science lovers with some quality memes and establish a unique community of like-minded people.

With thousands of members eagerly waiting for new hilarious jokes to grace their feeds, they have succeeded.

Although the group’s whole purpose may seem daunting to some, many imagine the scientific world as a bunch of extra-brainy people chaotically writing equations on the whiteboard and shouting “aha!” occasionally.

But as you’re scrolling through this list, you’ll notice that you don’t need a Ph.D. to get the science jokes people share! Although some entries may require some extra research to get what they mean, you get an A just for effort.

According to Chelsea Parlett-Pelleriti, a professor of statistics at Chapman University, blending science with humor and presenting difficult scientific terms in a witty way sparks a desire to learn more. "When I was learning, [making memes] was a good way to digest things," Parlett-Pelleriti said, explaining she started out using humor as a teaching tool for herself. "I tried to make things that I wished that I had as a person learning statistics."

The professor started posting entertaining content on Twitter and TikTok and soon realized that she can share aspects of her highly technical field in a more accessible way, inspiring broader masses to delve deeper into the subject. "The most flattering feedback I've gotten so far is that people will say, 'my goal in life is to learn enough statistics to understand this TikTok or to understand this meme. To me, that says that I'm doing something that allows them to still feel included in the community," Parlett-Pelleriti added.
