[Non Pony] When Good Music and Good Science Meet · 6:32pm Feb 8th, 2018
Greetings my good ladies and gentlemen, on this thoroughly miserable and rainy Thursday evening.
Presented with little additional commentary, a fine rebuttal to anyone who believes science to be joyless and without soul.
First a (surprisingly comprehensible) song about orbitals and bonding in molecules, via Ed Sheeran:
The fact that such a song exists at all is an achievement. Making it good is nothing short of miraculous.
Secondly, the rags to riches tale of Exoplanetology, by way of Aladdin:
Next, the possibly terrifying CRISPR-Cas 9, courtesy of Mr Sandman:
And finally, with help from Queen, a Bohemian retelling of String Theory and it's distressing habit of generating infinities:
Enjoy, my good ladies and gentlemen.
The cool thing about these songs to me, is that teachers will most likely use these music videos with their students in mind during lessons.

I sent these to an old student of mine who is now a teacher. She plans to do exactly that.
Well, I have some watching to do when I get home. Looking forward to it. Thanks.
