Hive writer, Lily Li, participated in UCI’s Science Riot to teach science through standup! Humor plays an important role in effective communication and Lily said it’s “really fun to share with people a little bit about the field that I work in and why I find it so exciting. The performance was really fun, and if given the chance, I’d totally do it in person!”
In the future, Lily said it is important to consider science in the context of culture, race, etc., and doing so may involve some difficult conversations in which humor might be really helpful. You can watch Science Riot here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yzjSM3ArzLs
