Symphony of Science: Education (Auto)Tuned to Young People

The world of science is indeed full of wonders. Would you ever have believed you could buy a 7″ vinyl record of a song by Carl Sagan?

That would be “A Glorious Dawn”, one of 17 or so bits of science-as-entertainment produced so far by a project called Symphony of Science. The songs and their accompanying videos give scientific and philosophical concepts a pseudo-chillwave musical treatment and feature (with the help of our old friend auto-tune) such prominent figures as Sagan, Isaac Asimov, Stephen Hawking and Bill Nye the Science Guy.

    Mr. Cyphers,

    I teach with Zack in Schweinfurt and he forwarded me this post! I’m a biology teacher, and I absolutely love this! Glad to see a fellow fan!

      Julie, I’m glad you checked in! He told me he was going to forward the post to you. I’m happy to have passed on something of interest. I have a lot of respect for the work you are all doing and I’m proud of Zack. Keep him in line when he needs it! And please feel free to check in on the blog if you have an interest in music too.
