This is truly amusing. Thanks for sharing it with us. It reminded me of
the time I saw a scientist give an interpretive dance of their thesis
DURING their defense talk at a top university! That was definitely not
the right time and place to bust out the moves. He was a pretty good
dancer, but it was awkward and embarrassing. 

I'm glad scientists have created an appropriate forum to express
themselves at meetings beyond Power Points and 250 word abstracts. I
think science centers should support this sort of behavior. It would
fold in nicely with Science Cafes and other efforts to reach the young
adult population.
