This is the seminal paper written by Watson & Crick outlining the structure of DNA.
Rosalind Franklin should have been co-author on this publication.
She was just given a meager acknowledgement.

The “canonical” story how Rosalind Franklin got wronged by Watson and Crick inadvertently makes her look far less scientifically competent than she was (“She did not realize the significance of her own data!”). This article offers a much more nuanced account of what happened.
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 An overlooked letter and an unpublished news article, both written in 1953, reveal that she was an equal player.

1/ The US Government has quietly removed a memorial to Black soldiers who died in World War II from the Netherlands American Cemetery in Margraten, South Limburg. The move follows a complaint from the right-wing Heritage Foundation to the American Battle Monuments Commission. ⬇️

I cannot tell you how many tech journalists at prominent media organizations do not understand this
Chatbots — LLMs — do not know facts and are not designed to be able to accurately answer factual questions. They are designed to find and mimic patterns of words, probabilistically. When they’re “right” it’s because correct things are often written down, so those patterns are frequent. That’s all.

Could the quid pro quo for agreeing to the peace deal have been “Bibi, I’ll press for a pardon for you, and if that doesn’t work you can have refugee status here”?
The US of course also not being party to the ICC.

Can't believe this channel isn't more popular. Music's generally got a Southern Gothic vibe to it. Good guitar.
This is the link to my YouTube channel, mosshenry1. I've posted a number of songs/slideshows there calling attention to the efforts of Trump and the right-wing to hijack this country. Every movement needs music. These songs can be part of it. Please pass it on. www.youtube.com/channel/UCKF...
