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.

…you think the PCR song is kind of catchy.
The PCR Song
tags: Scientists for Better PCR, humor,
Scienceblogs has a German cousin, Scienceblogs.de where I found this absolutely hilarious YouTube music video, "Scientists for a better PCR." Yes, it's an advert for a PCR device called a thermocycler but it's incredibly funny -- if you have that kind of sense of humor.
This is insanity, people.
Scientific insanity.
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.
Ouch!!! If you show that in class, you might lose your students forever :)
