If you’re like me, you’ve probably heard of Symphony of Science after a drunken night with a bunch of atheists and a laptop parked permanently on YouTube.

Symphony of Science is the creation of John Boswell, a composer who — armed with Auto-Tune and a bunch of television shows and interviews with the likes of Stephen Hawking and Carl Sagan — sat down to turn some nerdy science into some passable music.

H+ Magazine has an interview with Boswell on how and why he does it.
