Two favorites, together.

Science and music, melded beautifully.  Thanks to Suji for posting about these videos on the Living Science list.  I *love* watching and listening to them.  Here is the latest video, "The Unbroken Thread," featuring David Attenborough, Carl Sagan, and Jane Goodall:

New science & music special on PBS

The Music Instinct is being broadcast this weekend here in New England. Check your local PBS listings for more information. I'm especially looking forward to hearing what David Rothenberg has to say about birdsong.


Rothenberg has written several books, including Why Birds Sing: a Journey into the Mystery of Birdsong, and the recent Thousand Mile Song: Whale Music in a Sea of Sound. The author-musician also has seven cds released under his own name.

The Music Instinct also features slightly more mainstream musicians such as Yo-Yo Ma and Bobby McFerrin.
