Summary
Bad Science Jokes has grown from Melissa Church’s high-school Tumblr project into an Instagram account with 764,000 followers and a Facebook page with 276,000 fans.
Church said adults can keep learning through small daily habits rather than time-intensive study, arguing that steady curiosity supports personal growth.
Artificial intelligence is one area she says people should actively study, citing increasingly realistic fake images and videos that make media literacy more urgent.
Church also said true intelligence means patience and weighing facts before responding, adding that tech culture has helped recast “nerds” as successful and influential.
