The choir sings about PCR

Yesterday, I posted a memorial for Ron Mardigian, an enthusiastic champion of science education at Bio-Rad. Today, I scanned RPM's blog and what do I see?

A choir! Bio-Rad has produced a really funny music video. It reminds me of the music video from "We are the World," except some members of the choir are holding PCR machines and singing about the wonders of PCR!

Scientists for Better PCR is a really cute video, with a catchy tune, and it's fun to watch. If you're teaching about PCR, I highly recommend showing it to your class.

Amazing PCR song. The line about using PCR to find out who your daddy is deserves to be placed into the pantheon of science humor.
