Chemistry Wins “Dance Your Ph.D.” Contest
By a landslide, no less. Maureen McKeague, a chemistry Ph.D. student at Carleton University in Ottawa, Canada, took home the top prize and $1,000 Monday night from the “Dance Your Ph.D.” finals in New York City. Her dance was chosen the winner by 13 judges and was clearly the crowd favorite, snagging 69% of the vote in the readers’ poll.
Thumbs up to Maureen for showing that chemists can get down. Enjoy the jig and the musical mash-up madness.

Great video! Very creative. Ranks up there with Alpinekat’s “Large Hadron Rap”.
