Ph.D. students explaining their research using interpretive dance!

This year’s crop of Dance Your Ph.D. contest have really upped the ante! The contest asks doctoral students to deliver their research in the form of dance, and it’s awesome to see how they translate scientific ideas into choreography.

The chemistry (and Grand Prize) winner above tells the story of creating a super alloy using a Vaudevillian silent movie circus. 

Put on your dancing shoes and check out more winners at io9!
