Protein Translation Via the Medium of Dance

[Matty]

Dont know if any of you have seen this, its old as the hills, but its

b. So 70's it hurts, and
c Informative yet easy enough for even some of the more scientifically illiterate to follow.

An explanation of the DNA to final protein conformation process though the medium of 1970's interpretive dance. It simply doesn't get much better than that unless there is a "transcription via the medium of porn" video out there.

I thought it was going to be a clip from the Sleek Geeks, but sadly no-one seems to have YouTubed any of their dancers.
