RIP Franklin W. Stahl (1929–2025) here is Frank explaining semiconservative replication of DNA in the marvelous interview from 2020 together with Matt Meselson (youtu.be/7-tnuAqEp9g)

Thinking out of the box www.embo.org/people/think...

Frank Stahl died today at 95. He and his colleague Matt Meselson found a way to demonstrate how DNA replicated. Their lab experiment has been called the "most beautiful experiment". Here's a video of them describing how they did it. Video h/t NYT. #science www.youtube.com/watch?v=7-tn...
