The Symphony of Science music video series has a new addition, released today (January 17, 2012). “The Greatest Show on Earth” is the 13th video in the series. It features David Attenborough, Richard Dawkins and Bill Nye. Don’t miss it.
These clips are from:
Richard Dawkins’ “There is grandeur in this view of life” speech
BBC Life
BBC Planet Earth
David Attenborough’s First Life
Charles Darwin and the Tree of Life
Bill Nye Evolution episode
Bottom line: The newest Symphony of Science video features David Attenborough, Richard Dawkins and Bill Nye singing in autotune about evolution. The tune is called “The Greatest Show on Earth.” It’s reminiscent of an earlier autotune melody with astrophysicist Neil deGrasse Tyson … also not to be missed.

She has won a galaxy of awards from the broadcasting and science communities, including having an asteroid named 3505 Byrd in her honor.
