Discussion:
Cracking the Code- Fruvous genes

Hi
I found myself watching pbs really late at night after getting home from a Halloween party and got quite the surprise when Fruvous appeared on tv, singing about genetics. It's a 6 part show called "Cracking the Code."http://www.geneticstv.org/ Did anyone else see this strange thing? The little songs the guys did to explain Mendel and fruit fly genetics were great.

ah-HA!
In addition to the absurdity of replying to myself, I offer the following borderline useful information: http://216.239.41.104/search?q=cache:e77x9dMlsikJ:www.witf.org/temps/Edu/edmedia/edSERV.pdf+pbs+cracking+code+moxy&hl=en&ie=UTF-8 which on page 47 states: "CRACKING THE CODE THE CONTINUING SAGA OF GENETICS 3 programs at 30 minutes Grade(s) 9 -12 A comprehensive resource for teaching the history and new science of genetics, this program features lively animations and clever analogy, which present complex science information in a way that positively affects student attention and retention. The pop band Moxy Fruvous performs songs that assist students to recall key concepts and information." It's a Nova program and WGBH (Boston) production from 2001. ![]()

I emailed the good folks at PBS and they said the next 3 episodes will be aired some time in the new year so keep your eyes peeled.

I believe we have some more videos to watch for Frucon 7!� Funny stuff, and from the looks of the band (Short-hair Jian), and the copyright dates of the videos (2002, 2003), the most recent stuff we've heard from Fruvous as a band to date.

I am an idiot. 3AM on Thursday was last night, not tonight. Guess I didn't need to write that "SET THE VCR" note for myself!

I can torrent the videos if there's interest.� Should I clip it to just the Fruvous content though?� Wait until they're all broadcast and do it all at once? Too funny... I guess this is what happens when you lose a bet with Jack Micay.� ;) ![]()
I'm definitely interested! Whatever ends up being the least amount of work for you would, of course, be preferred :-)
![]() Would it be possible to have all the Fruvous/Jim McKay songs on one BitTorrent when it is all finished?� Or are there legal issues with that? I'll be taping next Thursday as well.� I don't have the ability to splice the video into just teh Fruvous segments though for Frucon, so someone else hopefully will be able to do that. ![]()
Yeah, I'm gonna do that.� They're coming off my ReplayTV in near-dvd quality (8mbps mpeg video).� Not sure what format I'll use yet, but they'll probably be ready by next weekend.

Yes, um, question: Is anyone putting these things into computer-readable format? Because I don't have PBS at school.
No, I'm not kidding. ![]()
I don't think it is even regular PBS. It seems to be that NY Channel 13 thing. I think it is a special educational Channel or something. The PBS site says nothing about it, nor does our local PBS channel's site.
Remember the 2 hour Nova program called "Cracking the Code" from April 2001 is NOT the program with Fruvous. The Fruvous one is called "Cracking the Code: The Continuing Saga of Genetics" and it is from 2003. ![]()

According to Chris, there were supposed to be Episodes 3-6 on Thursday morning.� All I got was a new episode about DNA, an unrelated program about flight, and then a repeat of the episode about heredity.� Did I miss something?
