Oh good, Burns has overtaken Sibley. Order is restored; we won't have to revisit theories of the origin of the universe. @surreycricket #Surrey #crick

It was a great annual #Crick #Rare Disease Conference 2026. Learned so much new, made novel contacts, and of course, discussed #precision #therapies for #vascular, and more specifically, #lymphatic anomalies. Organised by @Veronica K. #VASCERN #vascapa #hevas #eurordis #CMTC

If we ever get a chance to refactor the #humangenome ,I vote for putting all of the genes on the top strand. #genomics #bioinformatics and renaming it the #crick strand

Getting to live on the Hungry Run Creek for thirty years was one of the best things that has ever happened to me. #life #lifechoices #hungryruncreek #creeklife #crick #creeks #cricks #pennsylvaniacreeks #pennsylvania #centralpennsylvania #freedomavenue #burnham #woodland #nature

@juglugs I immediately wondered how #Crick is.
Checks.
Still dead.

On day one of the boat trip Gareth and I took some video footage. I finally edited it, badly. It's here:

More on the blog tomorrow, done enough today.

Yet again I've been fiddling with Seren's gear change. It's always been terrible, every year I improve it a bit, maybe one day it'll work properly. Details on the blog here https://www.pthane.weebly.com
Also info about a new plastic narrowboat at the Crick Boat Show. #Crick #NarrowBoat #CanalBoat #Canal #HDPE #AdriftBoats #FormationPlastics -

A conversation.
“When experts disagree, usually the best thing to do is listen to what the majority of experts say. There’s no guarantee that they’re right, but they’re more likely right than wrong. And if the majority view is overturned, it’s almost guaranteed that this will be done by other experts in the field presenting evidence for the minority view, not by random kibitzers.”
“For the history buffs in here, while most scientific knowledge is advanced incrementally, the true breakthroughs are usually ridiculed by the reigning experts. That is why appeals to authority are the worst kind of logical fallacy for a scientist.”
“That’s the pop-history version of scientific progress. The actual #history of #science is very different. Kind of like the difference between ‘history buffs’ and historians.”
===
Yes, there are examples—a few—of genuine breakthroughs that were ridiculed by the scientific establishment of the day. I bet you know what they are, because everyone does. They laughed at #Semmelweis, they laughed at #Wegner, they laughed at Luis and Walter #Alvarez, they laughed at #Marshall and #Warren. These things happened.
But they did not laugh at #Galileo: indeed, they took his work with deadly seriousness. (And there really wasn’t any such thing as a “scientific establishment” at the time.) They did not laugh at #Newton, or #Watt, or #Darwin, or #Gibbs, or #Pasteur, or #Einstein, or #Curie, or #Heisenberg, or #Fisher, or #Watson and #Crick and poor unacknowledged #Franklin, or #Tharp and #Heezen, or #Ostrom and #Bakker, or #Hansen, or the vast majority of scientists whose work has fundamentally changed our understanding of the universe.
At least if by “they” you mean scientists working in relevant fields, who understood the questions at hand … not, in most cases, scientists from other fields, or those with no scientific experience at all. Nor the religious and political ideologues who muddy the waters by creating fake “controversies” to cast doubt on results they know are true, but cannot accept.
In some cases they disagreed, quite vociferously. There were debates that descended into shouting matches, professional disagreements turned into personal feuds, once-eminent researchers become sad cranks, ruined careers and shortened lives. Yes. These things happened too, and that’s a tragedy.
But most of the time, most researchers in the same fields as the revolutionaries said, “Oh, that makes sense!” Problems that had seemed insoluble suddenly became simple, or at least it was possible to see how there might be an elegant solution. Major discoveries spawned a host of medium-sized ones, each of which in turn spawned endless minor ones—and endless minor papers, academic bread and butter for when you can’t get steak and lobster. Everyone wins.
Those ideologues I mentioned above? They really, really want you to believe the narrative of ridicule. You might want to consider why.

„[Menschen,] ihre Freuden und Leiden, ihre Erinnerungen, ihre Ziele, ihr Sinn für ihre eigene Identität und Willensfreiheit – bei alldem handelt es sich in Wirklichkeit nur um das Verhalten einer riesigen Ansammlung von Nervenzellen und dazugehörigen Molekülen“
Witzigerweise sagt diese Theorie von Francis #Crick gemäß ihr selbst nichts über die Wirklichkeit, sondern etwas über das Verhalten der Nervenzellen und Moleküle in Cricks Gehirn.

What #Rosalind #Franklin truly contributed to the #discovery of #dna 's structure
Franklin was no victim in how the DNA double #helix was solved. An overlooked letter and an unpublished news article, both written in 1953, reveal that she was an equal player.
