A day without memes is a day without humor these days… combine it with a subject such as science and you might think you’d get a mediocre combination at best. I mean, how funny can memes based on chemistry (unless you are a fan of Breaking Bad) or physics even be? Well, don’t be too fast to judge, Pandas, as you might be in for a surprise.
A Facebook group with over 1.7 million followers called ‘Science Humor‘ has made it their mission to prove that science and memes can mesh well and provide for some rather entertaining content. Don’t believe us? Well, scroll down below and see for yourself!

Bored Panda recently interviewed Roger Harris, the person behind the famous Facebook group ‘Science Humor.’ With a twinkle in his eye and a meme always at the ready, Roger not only possesses expertise in the field of science but also excels at managing one of the largest groups on the social platform.
When asked about the challenges faced while moderating a group of such magnitude, Harris told us, “Ah, challenges, there’ve been many. Just the other day, someone tried to share a meme about Schrödinger’s cat that was neither here nor there. But jokes aside, moderating a group this size is like conducting a rather large and chaotic experiment. The trickiest bit is balancing free expression with maintaining decorum. Thankfully, with a set of strict rules and a spot of British resilience, we’ve managed quite alright.”

The unique balance of humor and education is evident in the moderator’s approach. When diving into the essence of integrating humor with science, he stated, “I’ve always believed that a spoonful of sugar helps the medicine go down, and in this case, a good joke can make even the most complex scientific theory digestible. If our memes and jokes spark a moment of curiosity or even better, a Google search, then I believe we’re on the right path to promoting science in the most delightful way possible.”

However, Roger’s journey doesn’t end here. As for the future of ‘Science Humor,’ he shared his aspirations, saying, “While ‘Science Humor’ has been a rollicking adventure, there’s always the thought of where to next. Perhaps a ‘Science Humor’ YouTube channel? Or maybe a podcast? Though, I must confess, I’m partial to the idea of a book. ‘Science Humor: A Decade of Memes & Enlightenment’. What do you reckon?”

A core principle of group founder’s management style lies in fostering diversity and inclusivity. Elaborating on this idea, Harris remarked, “Science, much like humor, is a universal language. We’ve always aimed to ensure the ‘Science Humor’ group is as diverse as a Petri dish teeming with bacteria! Our mission is to represent every corner of the globe and every facet of science. After all, as they say, variety is the spice of life, and in our case, the formula for the best kind of humor.”
