Although academic papers and research papers can be time-consuming and tedious, they don’t have to be boring. A clever pun or humor can grab attention and make your paper more interesting. Have fun! These eight papers are a great example of how having a little fun can help academic careers.
– Fantastic Yeasts and where to find them: The Hidden Diversity in Dimorphic Fungal Paragens. You must admit, this is a clever use of words. Deep down, we all wish that we could go Hogwarts. However, you can still dream about casting a spell upon your graduate advisor. Expecto patronum!
– Wombats are detected from space What technology did Darth Vader use to create his secret moon base at Endor? It’s amazing! This technology would have made it impossible for the Ewoks to succeed if the empire hadn’t secured it. However, the humans will not make the same mistake. We will be ready for “Planet of the Marsupials”.
– The Origin of Asses and Olduvai Gorge, Tanzania – This paper has just disproved your neighbor’s theory. Although Frank might be louder than necessary and allow his dog to poop right in front, science can’t be denied.
– The effect of having Christmas dinner with in-laws on Gut Biota Composition Most people will agree this is about as close to being waterboarded. It’s amazing that any microbiota was found by the researcher. It seems unlikely that there would be any microbial life due to the amount of alcohol that was consumed.
– Snakes on a Spaceship Overview of Python and Heliophysics. Samuel L. Jackson voiced that title. The writer must have tried to explain the reasons to their advisor that this academic paper required so many colorful words. ).
– Unsuccessful Self Therapy for “Writer’s Block” This is especially important for an academic paper. Chad, maybe next time you will keep your thoughts to yourselves.
Bologna Sandwiches: When are they better than Sex? The Defense of Small-n Case Study Evaluations. This title seems to support the idea that alternate universes exist. Or, this writer may have access to some truly mystical lunch meat. It shouldn’t take too much to find the only deli in the world with eight Yelp stars.
– Die hard: Are cancer stem cell the Bruce Willises for tumor biology? Please, do not name your tumor after an imaginary German terrorist. Hans Gruber seems like a better name for a cat to me. While we all may disagree about whether Die Hard was a Christmas movie in reality, we can agree on one thing for curing Cancer!
