Symphony Of Science – Ode To The Brain

Wednesday, March 23rd, 2011

Once again John Boswell over at Symphony Of Science has crafted an inspiring bit of music-science mashuppery.

Smoke ‘em if you got ‘em.

Boswell uses parts of the extraordinary TED talk given by Jill Bolte-Taylor recounting her personal insights into how the brain functions – as well as footage of V. S. Ramachandran’s TED talk although I preferred his more indepth (and lengthy) Reith lectures on The Emerging Mind.

All good stuff. I give it a nine for the beat, Dick.

Cheers.

P. S. Mmmmm – braaaaains.

Symphony Of Science – The Poetry Of Reality

Thursday, February 25th, 2010

John Boswell at Symphony Of Science has released another wonderful music video featuring Carl Sagan and 11 other scientific minds celebrating how science changes our point of view of the world and universe we live in – or, as Richard Dawkins croons: “Science is the poetry of reality.”

Well done, Mr. Boswell. Keep ‘em coming.

Cheers.

Symphony Of Science – The Unbroken Thread

Wednesday, January 6th, 2010

I posted other Symphony Of Science music videos here – and you can find them all, four so far, (and the lyrics) at the web site. This one is about biology and is called The Unbroken Thread. It features Carl Sagan, of course, since he’s like the Mick Jagger of this scientific supergroup. We also get to see David Attenborough and Jane Goodall – sing!

Enjoy.

This series of astonishing, inspiring and informative musical pieces are the creations of John Boswell and should be shared with everyone you know – especially your kids.

Cheers.
