Boffins get their own Youtube

SciVee allows boffins to upload their research papers, accompanied by a video where they describe the work in the form of a short lecture.

According to the web site, SciVee hopes that it will make the more or less incomprehensible world of scientific reports easier to understand.

Boffins using the site to make a presentation will make their own research papers a little more clearer to their peers and the great unwashed.

Alternatively Boffins will just use it for lip-sync karaoke of them singing the periodic table, funny videos pictures of their pet cats after they swallowed helium, or "jokes" which they translated from the original ancient Egyptian. Those boffins are such kidders.
