"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

[foxholeatheists]

"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

drew a caricature of Watson and Crick because I don't respect them

A bronze statue of a laboratory mouse knitting a double helix of DNA in order to honor all the mice that were sacrificed for genetic research to develop new drugs to fight diseases.

It was designed by Andrew Kharkevich and is located in Siberia, Russia.

The monument was completed on 1 July 2013, coinciding with the 120th anniversary of the founding of the city.

The monument commemorates the sacrifice of the mice in genetic research used to understand biological and physiological mechanisms for developing new drugs and curing diseases.

Sculptor Alexei Agrikolyansky, who created the statue, confessed that it was challenging to capture this moment, as the mouse was obviously not human.

Nevertheless, he had to produce a character with believable emotions while maintaining anatomical proportions, avoiding it looking like a cartoon character or a real mouse.

The DNA spiral emerging from the knitting needles winds to the left, symbolizing the still poorly understood Z-DNA - representing the scientific research that is yet to be done.

In contrast, the more common B-DNA winds to the right.

The very first photograph of DNA was captured by a woman named Rosalind Franklin (25 July 1920 – 16 April 1958) using X-ray technology, allowing James Dewey Watson (born April 6, 1928) and Francis Harry Compton Crick OM FRS (8 June 1916 – 28 July 2004) to accurately characterize the double helix.

While they went on to win the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine in 1962, Franklin was not credited.

Sadly, she had passed away in 1958 from ovarian cancer, most likely caused by the high radiation exposure she endured while working with X-rays to capture the image of the double helix.

"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)
