Historian Dr. . Jennifer Doyle is here with my results, which means this is either my big Irish reveal or a very awkward plot twist. >> What do you think you are before we start.>> Um, I mean, I would just say half Irish, half English. >> Okay, let's have a look. [Music] >> Oh. Oh, wow.Okay, 56% Irish. So then that means that my dad must have been a bit Irish as well. >> Yeah, it's roughly in line with your dad having an Irish greatgrandparent.>> Oh man, I wish my dad was still alive. He would have loved th ...

The discovery of DNA’s structure was the result of hard work, a mad scramble and bad manners. James Watson was shown a photo of an X-ray diffraction without the permission of the crystallographer, Rosalind Franklin https://t.co/c1D1DVUjFn ...

基因组是指导手册般的"生命之书"？基因是"自私"的？生命的意义何在？数十年生物学研究的积累，已 经颠覆了很多"传统认知"。近日，观察者网科普专栏作者岑少宇对话《生命传》的作者、曾任《自然》 杂志编辑20年的菲利普·鲍尔（Philip Ball），探讨了相关问题。 与观察者网视频对话的菲利普·鲍尔 观察者网 观察者网：《生命传》（How Life Works）读来给人带来很多启发，体现了您学术交叉的背景。这似 乎长期贯穿您的学术生涯和科普著作，最初在牛津学习化学，很快就转向了物理方向，在布里斯托尔大 学获得博士学位。为什么会有这样的转变？ 菲利普·鲍尔：说来话长，但我会尽量说得简短一些。在从牛津到布里斯托尔之间，有两年时间，我是 一个摇滚乐队的成员。两年后，我觉得如果不回到学术界，可能就永远也回不去了。 于是我联系了我的牛津导师，问他有没有可以申请的人选建议。他推荐了布里斯托尔的鲍勃·埃弗斯， 因为他们的研究领域相似。我在牛津从事化学领域的表面相变研究，这是一种既可以在化学系，也可以 在物理系进行的工作。而我在布里斯托尔的导师当时也在做类似的研究，观察表面的行为，但他碰巧是 在物理系。 所以，我在牛津的时候就已 ...

“Something as beautiful as the double helix just had to exist.” “The Intelligence” remembers James Watson, the controversial scientist who discovered the structure of DNA https://t.co/SJ9QehvNbn https://t.co/DduBv5O7Vk ...

RT Matt Ridley (@mattwridley)From my biography of Francis Crick, this is in my view the most thrilling moment in all of science and it was all Watson's. Perhaps nobody will ever have a moment as significant as this:There was one more eureka moment to come, and it would be all Watson’s. Crick and Watson still had no idea how to fit the bases into the middle of the structure. Watson had begun to realise that the bases could form hydrogen bonds with each other end to end, domino fashion. Crick missed this, mai ...

James Watson’s discovery of the structure of DNA in the 1950s was a sensation—but he became notorious for his views on genetic differences in intelligence among racial groups https://t.co/1Xa1Xs6pLV ...

James Watson, whose co-discovery of DNA’s structure brought genetics to the forefront of scientific research before his remarks about the intelligence of Black people caused public outrage, has died. He was 97. https://t.co/UVGjfYKJ5R ...

NFL legend Tom Brady announcing his family dog is actually a clone. Take a look at this. On the left is Brady walking his beloved dog, Lua, who passed away in 2023. And on the right is Juny, Louisa's replica. But this isn't the first time a celebrity pet has been cloned. Paris Hilton and Barbara Stysan have both taken advantage of the innovative DNA technology. The companies responsible for the cloning are Vioagen and Colossal Biosciences, which was also behind the viral resurrection of the direwolf. Joinin ...
