"And I'm rockin' one leg, y'all"

A couple of thoughts about academia...

The following excessively long strings of words are titles for academic papers being presented at this conference:

* Gender Differences in Evaluations of Classical Musical Performances

* Gender Differences in Rates of Breast Self-Exam and Testicular Self-Exam Amongst a Sample of Residents in a College Community

* Does the Development of Feminist Identity Ameliorate the Negative Effects of Stereotype Threat on Women’s Performance on Spatial Cognition Tasks?

Have these people not heard of the "Short Catchy Phrase: (colon) Longer Explanatory Phrase Detailing the Study" school of paper titling?

Here are my suggested edits:

You Ain't Haydn Nothin': Gender Differences in Evaluations of Classical Musical Performances

I Touch Myself...Infrequently: Gender Differences in Rates of Breast Self-Exam and Testicular Self-Exam Amongst a Sample of Residents in a College Community

I Am Womyn, Watch Me Pour: Does the Development of Feminist Identity Ameliorate the Negative Effects of Stereotype Threat on Women’s Performance on Spatial Cognition Tasks?

And finally, this one needs no embellishment, because aren't we all drawn to that girl with the funny walk?

College Students’ Romantic Attraction Toward Peers with Physical Disabilities
