The adventure of the punny titleWe have several thousand PhD theses in the University of Cambridge repository, Apollo. Many of the thesis titles are...opaque...to the non-expert (class 1 phosphoinositide 3-kinase signalling, anyone?).
So our Repository Manager, Peter, was particularly happy when he came across this one as a refreshing change: Mobile Holmes: Sherlockiana, travel writing and the co-production of the Sherlock Homes stories. It wins the 2018 office award for 'best pun used in a thesis title'. The usage stats tell us this thesis been particularly popular with readers in France. Élémentaire, mon cher Watson! |
