If you believe either that Franklin discovered the double helix, and / or Watson and Crick stole her data, ask yourself how you know this. Then take a read of this article.
If I see one more stupid Rosalind Franklin take I'm going to lose my mind. Thank god for @matthewcobb.bsky.social and @nccomfort.bsky.social. www.nature.com/articles/d41...
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 An overlooked letter and an unpublished news article, both written in 1953, reveal that she was an equal player.

OK, I have set up a Substack and posted an article there going into much more detail about Francis Crick and the poet Michael McClure. If the link between science and art is your thing, or you just like psychedelic poetry, have a read:
The Powerful Knowledge: How the Poetry of Michael McClure Influenced the Scientist Francis Crick
In July 1959, the co-discoverer of the DNA double helix, Francis Crick, took a psychedelic trip on peyote through the power of poetry.

Historiantutkijana olisi täysin mahdotonta kuvitella skenaariota, jossa tutkimustulokset lytättäisiin vain sillä perusteella, että tutkija on yliopistosta tai laitoksesta x. Historiallisen argumentin ytimessä kun on primääriaineistosta johdettu todiste, ei ideologinen toiveajattelu.
Mistä tunnistaa "valtavirran taloustieteen" oikeistolaiseksi identiteettiperformanssiksi?
No siitä, että edes tieteen harjoittajille itselleen ei ole oleellista se, mitä argumentoidaan, vaan se, kuka argumentoi.

Olisko tämä kannattanut tehdä jollain muulla porukalla. Nyt ei kukaan usko vaikka olisitte tehnyt homman hyvinkin?

Excellent thread from @chrislintott.bsky.social, but without knowing much (tho I do know about DMS on Earth) this was my assumption. The history of work on this planet and the difficulties involved, outlined upthread, only reinforce my doubts.
And if the chemistry is odd, then identifying any molecule as a biosignature is hard. In an exotic environment, there may be many many ways to produce DMS. So even if it’s real: not evidence for life, unless you understand the whole chemistry of the atmosphere (11/n)

With the excitement about dimethyl sulfide in the atmosphere of K2-18b as unequivocal proof of extraterrestrial life, here’s the industrial process used for its manufacture:
2 CH₃OH + H₂S → (CH₃)₂S + 2 H₂O
Both methanol and hydrogen sulphide occur abiotically. 🧪🔭

The Republicans hold majorities in both houses of Congress and the Supreme Court and hold the White House and they could pass basically whatever agenda they would care to enact, but they have instead decided on a unique strategy of letting someone unelected do crimes all over the federal government.
