  1. 💁🏻‍♀️ TIL: 🐋🌀 Researchers used X-ray CT and #microscopy to map a #narwhal tusk in #3D.

    They found a second, inner spiral running opposite the outer one, a #doublehelix that keeps the #tusk stiff yet flexible, letting it bend without cracking. They hope the tusk’s growth layers record changing #ocean conditions over the #animal’s long life.

  7. @DrALJONES ‘Nature versus nurture’ is a simplistic division of behaviors into ones with primarily genetic causes and those with primarily environmental causes. Like most behaviors, psychopathy undoubtedly has complex origins, but my ‘hunch’ is on dominance of the #DoubleHelix 🧬 blueprints in our cells.

  15. This has been out for a while, but the important take home is:
    #RosalindFranklin #DoubleHelix
    " [Early on] the discovery of the structure of DNA was not seen as a race won by Watson and Crick, but as the outcome of a joint effort...
    Rosalind Franklin deserves to be remembered not as the victim of the double helix, but as an equal contributor to the solution of the structure."

  20. Academics find twist in tale of Rosalind Franklin, DNA and the double helix

    Authors say scientist’s role was acknowledged at the time of discovery – contrary to popular narrative
