Lots of DNA news happening at the moment. As I said, I’ve just started the Rosalind Franklin biography, someone I’ve been interested in ever since I saw Life Story back in 1987.
There’s also the small fact that it’s the 50th anniversary of the discovery of the makeup of DNA. The full model has just been published complete to a 99.999% level of accuracy in time for the celebrations.
I’m pleased to see that BBC4 are showing a season of programmes to mark this occassion including both a documentary based around the aforementioned book, and a reshowing of Life Story. My video could be busy in a couple of weeks’ time.
Spending a little time reading the Franklin book at lunchtime left me thinking that I don’t do enough to stay current in terms of scientific advances.
