  • Helen Arney performs Tom Lehrer’s Elements, which he set to a tune by Arthur Sullivan. This version includes all of the 16 elements discovered (or, more accurately, synthesised in a laboratory) since the song was first written in 1959.
    Ada Lovelace Day is an international celebration of the achievements of women in science, technology, engineering and maths which aims to increase the profile of women in STEM and create new role models for both girls and women studying or working in STEM.

    Ada Lovelace Day Live 2023 was held at the Royal Institution on Tuesday 10 October.

    Is it possible there are quite much more than 105 words on the song? I mean, «and» is repeated a fair amount of times.

      Repeats don't count. "and" is only one word no matter how many times it is listed.
      It DOES count if you are writing for a magazine that pays by the word.

    私わ favourite element is hydrogen because it doesn't need neutrons to exist in a stable form, so feels very independent, but it's a chore to choose favourites and quite a few elements arw up there
