The Royal Proclamation
The news arrived without warning, as all truly earth-shattering news does. Through a pair of urgent dispatches, the scientific community was made aware that Bjørn S. Cience was to be crowned king.
The Ceremony
And so the day came. Before an assembly of loyal subjects, Bjørn S. Cience was anointed by none other than the Bear Pope — a figure whose ecclesiastical authority in ursine matters is beyond question.
The ceremony concluded with a celebratory reading by Ralf Wetzel, founding board member of the Bjørn S. Cience Association and the Institute of Performative Inquiry.
Long live King Bjørn. Long live the Science Bear.
