Hello,

Can't remember if I talked about this at previous meetings...
The Festival of Bad Ad Hoc Hypotheses was a science festival inspired by this comic http://www.smbc-comics.com/index.php?db=comics&id=2853 held last October at the MIT
The idea was simple : you had to present a well-argued and thoroughly researched theory explaining a particular evolutionary adaptation, based on a ludicrous hypothesis (and hence conclusion).
Videos from the event are starting to be put up online :
On adaptive infant aerodynamics https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=94_omZ2RnfI
On why everything tastes like chicken https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TRPKOrTRE0w#t=235

Cheers

Mael
