Didn't Mention This in Friday's Post

Before Thursday night's Secret Science Club lecture, we were treated to a performance by Canadian rapper, artist, and polymath Baba Brinkman. Mr. Brinkman is in NYC to perform his Rap Guide to Evolution. I was able to chat with him for a bit, and he's a hell of a nice guy who is doing Good Work. I am going to try to get to the show on its opening night. Here's a sample of Mr. Brinkman's work, The Natural Selection Rap:





I believe Mr. Brinkman is from Vancouver. Hopefully he and New York's own Zach Charlop-Powers won't start an East Coast/West Coast Science Rap feud. The prospect of lab-coated scenesters beating each other with slide rules on the streets of major American cities terrifies me.

  3. The science/chem geeks in my high school used Bunsen burner tubing & clamps to make Super-Soakers well before Super-Soakers. Worse than slide rules; the collateral damage could be wide-ranging.

    Should I worry about Alec Baldwin running for mayor of NYC?

    As Charles Portis wrote, "Look at those eyes, we are entering a new Age of Reptiles."

    Especially if they are using caustic chemicals in lieu of water!
