Pages 309-324 | Published online: 20 Nov 2013
 

Abstract

Humour in science assumes many forms and shapes. It appear as hoaxes and spoofs; individuals and groups of scientists edit special satirical and humorous journals; anthologies and books on humour in science are published. All these find their representation in this review, which contains also many examples of gamesmanship in science, obscurantism and puns that contribute to the lighter side of science.
