How to use humor in your academic or scientific presentation

I work in HigherEd and you'd be surprised how many people think it's a bad idea to laugh...especially when it wasn't their idea. I love using humor and creativity in my day to day as much as possible. Love this validation - thank you:-)

Let me know in the comments: Did my answer surprise you? or Do you feel validated because this is what you were already doing?
