The Vancouver Science World Centre has been running some really, really great ads over the past few months. I like this one:

The others are great, too. I'd seen the kissing one

before, but the Ice Creamy Goodness

one made me laugh and laugh. It's um, probably NSFW. We could use ads like this down here in the States. I'd like to see science portrayed as more fun. Maybe it would help stem the tide of antiscience that threatens us so severely. Cripes. Science is fun. Try this one

on for size if you don't believe me.

Tip o' the lab coat to Buzzfeed.
