The biology songs and dances Richard has created - a dozen or so - are a fusion of art and science. He started to write biology songs partly to help students remember complicated processes and partly because he realized that one of the challenges of biology is the number of new words students need to learn. He believes singing the words really does help. 'It had to be U, Uracil U' was written in DNA Boogie to help students name the nucleotides found in DNA and RNA.
