      abstract = {Can Science Be Witty? takes a close look at an element of  modern science communication that is as innovative as it is  promising for the future: comedy! Readers are guided  through lucidly presented academic theory as well as  exciting hands-on and best-practice examples from renowned  practitioners and cabaret artists: - What do sheep cheese  and car tires have in common? - Can laughter tear down  walls? - How does "Die Anstalt" work? - How does magic  create knowledge? - Is there humor in museums? - Serving  suggestion for the Holy Spirit - Dictatorship of stupidity  - And much more! But it's not all just funny. Comedy can  also take away some of the biting sharpness of criticism,  making it digestible, even palatable, for the addressees.  Can Science Be Witty? navigates between critique and  cabaret and deals with comedy in various forms from  different perspectives. 22 contributions show how the  results of science, research and technology can be brought  to the general public in new ways. In particular, they also  demonstrate how humour can be used as a critical and  questioning force - valuable for all types of communication  and helpful in making them more witty in the future.
