"The simple fables of the religious of the world have come to seem like tales told to children." -- Francis Crick, co-discoverer of the structure of DNA

"It's beautiful," Crick breathes, erect and standing while admiring the erect and standing model of double-helix DNA, all bases correctly paired as the metal pieces spin a frozen tower heavenward, reaching. Reaching like humanity grasping for God, but now they've finally reached divinity. Once a project of babel, now solved. Finally, it's complete. "Crick," says Watson in that quick way of his, chewing at nothing. "Your crick, is, well, cricked. Your wank is cranked." "Watson, you. God's sake for the last time stop looking at my penis"

Just wanna test something thats on my mind

Don't use Google, I just wanna see what people think/were taught in school or from time on the Internet

In 1953, using X-ray diffraction photograph of DNA fibres (figure 7.50) obtained by Rosalind Franklin and New Zealand-born Maurice Wilkins, James Watson and Francis Crick came to the conclusion that the DNA structure consists of the now-famous double helix (see figure 7.51).

it's 11pm on a saturday time to get mad at watson and crick again

[tenth-sentence]

To account for the periodicity observed from X-ray data, Watson and Crick postulated that base pairs are stacked one on top of the other, with a distance of 0.24 nm between base pairs and with 10 base pairs in one complete turn of the helix.

Project #1 for Winter Quarter 2024 - For these pieces, I was inspired by the work of Rosalind Franklin. When Francis Crick and James D. Watson discovered the DNA double helix, they did so using the work of Rosalind Franklin. However, when it was time to give out the Nobel Prize, she was not one of the winners. Despite her being an important member of the team, she was largely forgotten and left out of this important history. As I was deciding what I wanted to do for this project, I kept thinking of her. So, I just started with the double helix. Then, I made another one. These pieces are both made of layers of paint, paper, acrylic medium, string, and pipe cleaner to create a series of distorted and obscured double helixes - none of them quite how they should be. I wanted this to somewhat represent Rosalind and her place in this story. A figure just out of sight for so long, but maybe now coming into focus.

Happy birthday to Francis Crick, nobel laureate and serious pain in the neck

“It is amateurs who have one big bright beautiful idea that they can never abandon. Professionals know that they have to produce theory after theory before they are likely to hit the jackpot.”

– Francis Crick

"A knowledge of the true age of the earth and of the fossil record makes it impossible for any balanced intellect to believe in the literal truth of every part of the Bible in the way that fundamentalists do. And if some of the Bible is manifestly wrong, why should any of the rest of it be accepted automatically?" -- Francis Crick, "What Mad Pursuit" (1988)
