Science communication: the good, the bad, and the totally ridiculous
Not science! – More early music
Today another non-scientific entry; I’m posting a suite for viola da gamba by the French baroque composer Marin Marais, from his 5th book of pieces for the viol, Suite in g minor.
This is from a live concert many years ago I played with my good friend the Heidelberg lutenist Johannes Vogt, on the theorbo (a bass lute). I play 8 movements from the suite, broken into five files: 1. Prélude; 2. Fantasie-Allemande; 3. Sarabande-Gigue; 4. Tombeau pour Marais le Cadet; 5. Menuet-“la Géorgienne”
These recordings are copyright 2019 by Russ Hodge and Johannes Vogt.
I am a science writer at the Max Delbrück Center for Molecular Medicine in Berlin, author of fiction and popular science books, an artist, and a professional musician who performs on the viola da gamba and Medieval and Renaissance stringed instruments. I edit manuscripts of all types and teach the full range of scientific communication skills. I am doing theoretical work in this subject - see for example https://goodsciencewriting.wordpress.com/2018/03/11/ghosts-models-and-meaning-in-science/
