Fanfare for The Company of Biologists
Posted by Anton Stabentheiner, on 2 November 2014
Dear friends and members of The Company of Biologists,
About a year ago, I was asked to organize the Physiology Symposium of the 6th EurBee Conference in Murcia/Spain, held by the European Association for Bee Research in September 2014. The Company of Biologists kindly provided generous and fast financial support for the two invited speakers of our symposium.
As a small THANK YOU SO MUCH I composed a short “Fanfare for the Company of Biologists”.
Catarina Vicente from the Node kindly asked me to write here a short comment about my thoughts during the composing process.
Here now, Ladies and Gentlemen, is the Fanfare for the Company of Biologists:
Please use earphones for best results.
I also used quotations in this piece. However, unlike in scientific papers, I will not uncover those ‘secrets’ at this point. For British people it will not be hard to uncover one of it. The second one may be brought to light by a connoiseur of classical music…
The orchestra?
Since a scientist’s money bag is usually too slim to pay a full orchestra, I ‘asked’ the Vienna Symphonic Library to help with the performance…
If you think you need some relaxation from numbers and facts, you might be interested in this Science and Art website.
Have much fun,
