The series “Healthy Humour” – five humorous COVID-19 information clips created by science communication student Eliza Martin – has been shared with all ACT schools in 2022. Eliza’s witty icon-based video campaign informs children, parents, educators and carers about COVID hygiene and best pandemic behaviour using funny analogies, for example when comparing viruses to villains in pop culture.

Eliza’s creative approach to using humour to promote and enhance science-based understanding and social engagement with COVID is not only a stunning expression of creative science communication, but also turns cultural ideas of science into a delightful public good.
