It all started with the University of Western Australia obstetrics and microbiology researcher Lisa Stinson, who stumbled upon a hilariously-titled research paper. She shared her findings online, saying , "I just found the world's best paper title". Stinson attached a screenshot of the research paper, which was titled, "Fantastic yeasts and where to find them: the hidden diversity of dimorphic fungal pathogens".
Who knew that the formal, dry, serious, and jargon-heavy field of academic writing can bring forth such gems? Apparently, other scientists can as well! Following the footsteps of Stinson, other researchers and scientists share other well-crafted titles :

Now that’s something to take note of for your next academic writing - maybe your reviewer would find it amusing as well!
