Keen on discoveries in bacterial cell biology and bacteriophages, working to impact AMR. Fan of the ocean. Opinions my own.

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 An overlooked letter and an unpublished news article, both written in 1953, reveal that she was an equal player.

There’s nothing quite like the energy of in-person collaboration. Last week, MACSYS researchers specialising in mathematical modelling came together for a dynamic, 2-day workshop at UNSW. It focused on exploring new collaborative opportunities for modelling membrane structure, function & metabolism.

The same pulling force that causes “tears” in a glass of wine also shapes embryos. It’s another example of how genes exploit mechanical forces for growth and development.
