If a man did this for me I would propose to him on the spot. Too bad I can't even get a guy I'm interested in to look in my general direction 98% of the time.

We met online and our first IRL was at Starbuck's. After about an hour he asked if he could take me to dinner and I said sure, but first do you mind if we pop into Barnes & Noble next door? I can't resist a bookstore. I found 4 or 5 hardbacks on the sale table and as we were walking around, he casually took my books and carried them for me. Yeah, I was hooked. That was 15 years ago.

There might be a lot of truth to that. A Pew Research poll revealed that viewers of humorous news shows such as The Daily Show and The Colbert Report exhibited higher retention of facts than those who got them from newspapers, CNN, Fox News, or network stations.

Neuroscience research suggests that humor systematically activates the brain's dopamine reward system, and cognitive studies show that dopamine is important for both goal-oriented motivation and long-term memory, while educational research indicates that correctly-used humor can be an effective intervention to improve retention in students from kindergarten through college.

'Bad Science Jokes' boasts the biggest following on Instagram, where it has 600,000 fans. To reach all of these people, Melissa employs pretty much everything the platform has to offer.

"To be honest, I think the best performing feature is the Carousel (multiple pictures in one post)," she said. "I have to divvy up the types of content to remain appealing to followers and to better appear on newsfeeds and explore tabs."

"Instagram will hate me, but I don't think reels do all that well on the platform," she added. "At least not with my audience. Of course, there are a handful who prefer it, and for certain types of content, reels work far better. Instagram's typical users are just not as into the short-form video content."

We also asked Melissa what other accounts would she recommend for people who like 'Bad Science Jokes' and she said that her top suggestions are @punhubonline, @neil.degrasse (a Niel Degrasse fan site), @sketchingscience, and @nickuhas.
