Elise Andrew and "I Fucking Love Science"

This is how the Guardian presented the Internet phenomenon here:

"I Fucking Love Science was born, in March 2012, out of mischief and frustration. The page is a mixture: of meme-style science illustrations (an image of floating, sleeping otters overlaid with the words: "Sea otters hold hands when they sleep so they don't drift away from each other… they also rape baby seals to death"); of plain-speaking summaries of the latest research ("Researchers have discovered how and where imagination originates in the brain"); and of links to oddities such as a video of a student singing an explanation of string theory to the tune of Bohemian Rhapsody. These have helped her accrue 10,000-15,000 new followers a day."
