25. April 2026: Nationaler DNA-Tag
73 Jahre ist es inzwischen her, dass James Watson und Francis Crick an der Cambridge University anhand der Röntgenkristallografie-Bilder von Rosalind Franklin (die später beim Nobelpreis leer ausging) die Doppel-Helix-Struktur der DNA entdeckten. Am 25. April 1953 veröffentlichten sie ihr Modell unter dem Titel „A Structure for Deoxyribose Nucleic Acid“ erstmalig im Wissenschaftsjournal „Nature“. Als 2003 das Human Genome Project (HGP) abgeschlossen wurde, schlug das […] -
Interesting look at #franciscrick in this @erictopol interview with @matthewcobb about his new biography.
The poll at the end of the page asks if the interview has changed your view of Crick. It certainly gave me a fuller view of the person beyond headlines and clickbait. We are all complex, and full of as many flaws as virtues.

It's too bad these two seem to have abandoned Mastodon, however.

@gutenberg_org It should be noted that the mistakes in the structure of #DNA made by #LinusPauling were partially due to him only looking at sketches of the X-ray diffraction data collected by #RosalindFranklin (drawn by his nephew who was working with #JamesWatson and #FrancisCrick ).
#Pauling could not travel from #CalTech to #England because his passport had been revoked by the #US #StateDepartment for his #AntiNuclear (atmospheric testing) protests. CalTech also fired him!
