Dr. Chordate recently wrote a song about Henrietta Lacks, the young black woman whose cervical cancer
provided the first human cells that were extensively grown in culture, called HeLa cells all over the world. The book,
The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks by Rebecca Skloot won many awards in 2010. To hear a basic recording of the
song, click here or just to read the lyrics to this song,
click here.
And for something completely different, i.e. a non-sience song, a link to a video of a song about the rapture that
Dr. Chordate recently wrote is here.

A lot of folks have asked what Dr Chordate looks like (well, at least 2,
anyway),
so I have added a page of
Dr. Chordate in Action which will have one or more recent photos for your
viewing pleasure
(new photos added April 8, 2009).
Some people have asked about Dr Chordate's trip to Cuba in October of 2008.
To read a journal of that trip,
follow this link
Dr. Chordate in Cuba
and find out what Dr, Mrs, and Courtney Chordate did on that two-week mission trip.
For some photos taken during that trip to Cuba,
visit Pictures of Cuba.
Dr Chordate returned to Cuba in August of 2009 on another
mission trip. Photos of that trip can be found at
Dr Chordate's Flickr Photos of
Cuba.
(These Flickr photos are in reverse chronological order, so if you want to see things as they happened,
go to the last
page first and work back to the first page.)
And for something completely different, i.e., nothing to do with science, click
here
to hear Dr Chordate's "Truck Stop Woman". And for something else completely different, i.e., nothing to do with science or truck stop
women:
for the last 15 years or so, I have been directing the Christmas program at my church (Millersburg Christian
Church,
Fulton MO). We usually buy something off the shelf from a publisher, and then I have to rewrite it to suit
our church.
So, for Christmas 2007, I wrote my own show, complete with a special new song (music by Brent Moran)
during which a
Nativity scene is created. To see the script and lyrics to the special song, click
here. I'm sure you will enjoy it.
And if you
would like to produce it at your church next Christmas, contact me (Dr Chordate) to get a copy of the
music and/or
CD of the music (for a nominal charge, of course). And for another completely different kind of humor, please visit the web site of my neighbor,
Lewis Baumgartner,
The World's Worst Farmer.
(He really is, too! If you'd seen his wheat crop, you'd sure be thankful that
man doesn't live by bread alone!).

In this business of writing "science songs" for educational/entertainment purposes, we occasionally run into
copright issues (since some of our songs "may" be parodies or otherwise use some familiar tune or phrase).
