This is not an ordinary table at the Eagle Pub in Cambridge UK! Here, James Watson and Francis Crick loved to lunch and discuss about the structure of DNA. After looking at “Photograph 51” by Rosalind Franklin they came to the conclusion to the double helical structure in 1953! 🧬 #history #science

Grateful to have helped co-organize #GBES2025 and to return to my alma mater, @tecdemonterrey.bsky.social, in Mexico City 🇲🇽. Many insights are being shared to define competencies and soft skills needed in bioinformatics. Surprised by learning all the different roles in the field based on these!

Eugenics is on the rise again: human geneticists must take a stand Nature - Scientists must push back against the threat of rising white nationalism and the dangerous and pseudoscientific ideas of eugenics.

🧬 Happy #DNADay!! 🧬
Today, we celebrate April 25th, a date that marks the discovery of DNA's double helix structure in 1953 and the completion of the Human Genome Project in 2003

To honor this day, I’ve made a short video about "Photograph 51." Have you heard of this play? Feel free to comment! 🧬
