What Rosalind Franklin truly contributed to the discovery of DNA’s structure Franklin was no victim in how the DNA double helix was solved. An overlooked letter and an unpublished news article, both written in 1953, reveal that she was an equal player.

Getting Rosalind Franklin’s story right is crucial, because she has become a role model for women going into science

Brain organoids are getting better at mimicking brains in a dish. But how good is too good? I take a look at the latest developments in my story today in the Times. Gift link: nyti.ms/496PPnC

I think the key for target prediction is not to rely on a single prediction tool. We typically use TargetScan, miRDB, and/or miRanda, then cross all three datasets to keep only the predicted targets common to all. The list gets shorter, but way more reliable! Good Luck! ✨

Brain Surfaces of 70 primate species

1
To predict the behaviour of a primate, would you rather base your guess on a closely related species or one with a similar brain shape? We looked at brains & behaviours of 70 species, you’ll be surprised!
