Amy C. Moore: A Collection of Science-Inspired Humor

Amy C. Moore, Director of Patient Engagement and Advocacy at Summit Therapeutics, Inc., shared a post on LinkedIn:

“I just saw a humorous post full of grammar jokes, and it reminded me of that day I was bored in 2020 and came up with a bunch of science jokes:

  1.  I had a joke about DNA but others kept replicating it
  2.  I have an abbreviated telomere joke
  3.  Knock, knock. Who’s there? AUG. AUG who? AUGust starts in a few days…
  4.  I have a joke about infinity but it never ends
  5.  I also had a joke about the hippocampus but I forgot it
  6.  I tried to come up with a joke about mitochondria but didn’t have the energy
  7.  And my joke about CpG was repetitious
  8.  The one about pH was too basic
  9.  And the one about restriction enzymes got cut
  10.  I also had one about microscopy but the optics were bad
  11.  And the one about tissue culture needs more time to incubate
  12.  The one about T cells left me exhausted
  13.  I had a signaling joke too, but it Wnt awry
  14.  I had another signaling one but thought I needed to kick it up a Notch
  15.  The one about transplants got rejected
  16.  The one about H. pylori gave me reflux
  17.  My joke about Pi was irrational
  18.  The one about point mutations didn’t make sense
  19.  The one about the Golgi apparatus was hard to process
  20.  My joke about hydrophobic surfaces was repulsive
  21.  The one on centrifugation spun out of control
  22.  I also have one about virus entry but I don’t know if folks will be receptive
  23.  And my joke on automimmunity turned against me
  24.  Why did the virus cross the road? A-de-no
  25.  I thought of another science joke, but it took an unexpected Twist
  26.  My mRNA joke needs translating
  27.  People keep copying my cloning joke
  28.  I could not cell my jokes about organelles
  29.  I thought of one about boiling water, but it evaporated
  30.  Someone said, “Stop with all the mutation jokes!” I said, “Nonsense!”
  31.  I tried to make up one about virus replication, but it was too restrictive
  32.  Some kid on Twitter is like, “Dr. Moore, please stop!” I said, “I know you’re not interferon with me!”
  33.  I also made up one about sex chromosomes, but it was rated “XX”.”
