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!
🚀 The Global Bioinformatics Education Summit has officially started in Mexico City! 🇲🇽
We're thrilled to kick off the event at Tecnológico de Monterrey in Mexico City with a session focused on GOBLET 🧬💻

🧬 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! 🧬
