That is, until Rosalind Franklin hits the screen …
Uh huh… that's my pic …
Oh yes, there's science in there—helical dimensions and phosphates on the outside—and there's also a sense of people doing science, mixed motives, prejudices and all. The lyrics (partly annotated) are here. McFadden's website has more, including links to other science rap battles, on the status of Pluto and on Wegener and continental drift, and background on making these videos.
The Science Genius B.A.T.T.L.E.S. (Bring Attention to Transforming Teaching, Learning and Engagement in Science) competition in August drew attention from NPR and Wired (the winner was on the Quest for Joulelry), and this glorious take-down of Watson & Crick has been widely noticed around the web.
