Hipsterscience: Twitter comedy on true indie science

The #hipsterscience tag on Twitter has become a comedy goldmine of science larfs and chuckles. The best of them have been collected on Sciencetopia:

noahWG: I discovered the Higgs boson, but fuck if I'm going to ruin it by telling others about it. #hipsterscience
talyarkoni: Hypothesis testing is for people who lack conviction. #hipsterscience
CBC_psi: My data don't need to fit to your "model." #hipsterscience
drugmonkeyblog: The Williamsburg Project was edgier RT @nwerneck @bjkraal: I liked Richard Feynman before he joined the Manhattan Project. #hipsterscience

Hipster science (Sciencetopia) (via MeFi)

I write books. My latest is a YA science fiction novel called Homeland (it's the sequel to Little Brother). More books: Rapture of the Nerds (a novel, with Charlie Stross); With a Little Help (short stories); and The Great Big Beautiful Tomorrow (novella and nonfic). I speak all over the place and I tweet and tumble, too.

Two hipsters declared their majors as evolutionary biology. The one hipster turned to the other and said, “let’s get out of this field, there are too many hipsters in it.”

Hipsters were cooler before there was that lame hipster label applied. OTOH anything to get more smart women to throw out the contacts wear geeky glasses!

To keep things simple and less likely to break I did actually use an overhead projector for my thesis defense.

The projector’s light bulb blew after the first slide.
