Do you have what it takes to win Science’s “Dance Your Ph.D.” competition? As the kangaroo-friendly researcher who was last year’s winner showed, where there’s a will (and a thesis) there’s a dance.
As always, we’re challenging scientists to explain their research obsession with fancy footwork, but no PowerPoint slides or jargon. It doesn’t matter whether you’re just starting your Ph.D. or you completed it decades ago; you just need imagination and the ability to keep a beat.
The annual contest, in its 17th year and now sponsored by the artificial intelligence and quantum technology company SandboxAQ, features four traditional categories (physics, biology, chemistry, and social science) plus a special category on AI research and quantum science. Winners in each category take home $750. The overall winner gets an extra $2000. In the special category, the dance doesn’t have to be on a personal Ph.D. thesis, but it should still convey a paper, a talk, or research project on AI research and quantum science.
