Songs about science XIX: back to our roots

The song that originally inspired the start of this Songs About Science Series now has a sequel.

Back in the depths of time, the Bio-Rad company decided to promote one of its products with the inspired PCR Song. Now, via chemistry-blog.com, we’ve been made aware of the follow up: the GTCA song.

If you want more head over to Bio-Rad for different versions, outtakes and more.

Below the fold: songs about metrics and charts.


CBS’s ‘Sid the Science Kid’ show sings about graphical representations of data:

I like checking out charts because charts rule.

A chart is handy dandy scientific tool

[Hat tip: Flowing Data.]


Here we have a modern update of a classic: An MC Lars cover of Adam ‘Atom’ Goren’s ode to sensible units, ‘(Lord It’s Hard To Be Happy When You’re Not Using) The Metric System’. (Original version here.)
