Opis

A selection of the most popular of Ron Laskey's witty songs on subjects all scientists recognise - endless seminars, incessant air travel, being scooped, the morning after the conference banquet, and so on. This CD reissues many of Laskey's songs that have been long unavailable. The best of the bard of biology.
