Knock knock.
Who’s there?

Since this is the extent of our joke-telling ability, we’ll leave the real thing to the experts and one of our favorites is Kyle Marian. She began her scientific career as an anthropologist, but has since transitioned into communicating science through…comedy?

Find out more about the parallels between academia and stand-up, and how Kyle uses her art as a powerful tool to include those most disenfranchised.

Before we go on though, this episode contains a lot of strong language and explicit content. Now that you’ve been warned, go forth and enjoy!

Thanks to our friends Laura Hamel, Nick Allen, Ben Prueitt and Angela Rey for coming out to Memphis for the taste of science retreat. We are painfully sad to have postponed our events this year thanks to COVID19, but it means we need to get ingenious with our event organizing!

We had a lovely time at Railgarten drinking the beer, cocktails and medicinal whiskey.

Much of comedy is visual so you can see Kyle’s sketches here:

What Indiana Jones Forgot to mention

If a clitoris could talk

Manang Alice's AirBnB Manila Experience

Also, thanks to her comedic friends in crime: Esther Chen and Woody Fu, for allowing us to feature them too.
