A lot of folks have asked what Dr Chordate looks like (well, at least 2, anyway), so I have added a page of Dr. Chordate in Action which will have one or more recent photos for your viewing pleasure (new photos added April 8, 2008).

And for something completely different, i.e., nothing to do with science, click here to hear Dr Chordate's "Truck Stop Woman".

And for something else completely different, i.e., nothing to do with science or truck stop women: for the last 15 years or so, I have been directing the Christmas program at my church (Millersburg Christian Church, Fulton MO). We usually buy something off the shelf from a publisher, and then I have to rewrite it to suit our church. So, for Christmas 2007, I wrote my own show, complete with a special new song (music by Brent Moran) during which a Nativity scene is created. To see the script and lyrics to the special song, click here. I'm sure you will enjoy it. And if you would like to produce it at your church next Christmas, contact me (Dr Chordate) to get a copy of the music and/or CD of the music (for a nominal charge, of course).

In this business of writing "science songs" for educational/entertainment purposes, we occasionally run into copright issues (since some of our songs "may" be parodies or otherwise use some familiar tune or phrase). This is a link to an interesting web site about legal downloads and other copyright issues: Links to Tens of Thousands of Legal Music Downloads
