Here’s another video from the upcoming They Might Be Giants CD/DVD “Here Comes Science:” Science is Real. It’s only viewable on Amazon.com for now (click on the link to view it).

Hooray! We’ve been waiting for the new They Might Be Giants CD/DVD, Here Comes Science, to come out. Today they posted the first video from the collection, “Electric Car”.

We can’t stop thinking about an episode of the PBS show “Nova” we watched a couple weeks ago called “Musical Minds”. Oliver Sacks is a famous neurologist, a doctor who specializes in treating the body’s brain and nervous system. In “Musical Minds”, he talked with a young autistic man who is a brilliant piano player, a man with Tourette Syndrome whose symptoms stop when he plays the drums, and a woman who just heard noise when someone played music for her. The coolest story was about the man who got hit by lightning and suddenly was able to play beautiful music for the first time in his life.

You can watch a video clip, read a transcript of the show, and see Dr. Sacks’ answers to viewer questions on PBS.org, a great site for kid scientists to get information!
