CERN Has A Choir?

Did you know that scientists sometimes do things other than science?  That they don’t always just pipette things all day, or sit with computer readouts projected improbably across their faces?

Sometimes they write songs.  And sometimes they get together in four part harmony and sing those songs.  And with roughly eight thousand scientists working at the world’s largest and highest-energy particle accelerator to draw from it’s actually not at all surprising that they managed to find enough talented people to rewrite an old satirical song to be about the poor scientists who labor in search of the Higgs Boson.

Video below, natch.

    This made me so happy. I didn’t think anyone cared about Flanders and Swan anymore, and this is one of my favorite songs by them. A perfect mixture of both worlds to me, the science and the musical.
