The UN warned this month that the 1.5 degree limit on global warming set under the Paris agreement may not be reached. But that's no reason to drop targets. Cutting fossil fuels could keep us within critical limits and UN national contributions suggest the emissions trajectory could tip. #climatesky

Can the hive mind help me with a little mystery of science history? These photos in Raymond Gosling's thesis purport to be the same, but only the left shows the features of known photo 51. Rosalind Franklin's notes show they used the same specimen in an earlier experiment: 49. Could that explain it?

You’ve probably heard this claim: Climate’s always changing! It's true, Earth’s climate has changed before. But not this fast, and not for this reason. Introducing Cold Facts, Hot Takes: my new series of evidence-based replies to common troll takes 🔥 Want the whole episode? Links below ⬇️

There is truly no surer sign of being trapped in the Westminster bubble thank thinking that the person to reverse Labour's tanking poll numbers is Wes Streeting.

Indeed. Those who control the dominant narrative have a responsibility to free themselves of outworn ideas.

Unfortunately this article offered an outdated version of events pushed by Watson's memoir. There's little evidence Wilkins 'abhorred confrontation' (you need only read his letters), or that he focused on B DNA (which Franklin analysed in her '52/3 notebooks), nor did she see it as a 'distraction'.

Batteries are coming to Europe. Earlier this year Europe’s largest battery storage site went live at Blackhillock, Scotland. The facility has a capacity of 300MW/600MWh. Much larger batteries are under development: A huge 1 GW / 4 GWh system is being constructed in Jänschwalde, Germany.

It's a matter of public record that James Watson visited Rosalind Franklin's lab at this time in 1953 @matthewcobb.bsky.social, where he saw photo 51. As early as November 1951, he heard Rosalind Franklin's lecture. She corrected his subsequent flawed model. I included these details in my book.

I find these pages from Rosalind Franklin's notebooks in Jan/Feb 1953 particularly interesting. She draws her own diagrams of DNA, describing a possible structure with chains 'along a-c diagonal', and examines evidence for a '2-chain' helix from photo 49, an earlier x-ray of B DNA than photo 51.

In private, Rosalind Franklin's colleague at King's College, Maurice Wilkins, begrudged that James Watson and Francis Crick had pinched their data. As per this letter that surfaced at auction.

Here, Rosalind Franklin's colleague Maurice himself argues to the head of their lab in London that their data should not have been leaked to Watson and Crick. You're welcome.

Through reading her time-stamped and archived lab notebooks meticulously, and comparing those dates to the timeline in James Watson's memoir, and Maurice Wilkins' letters. You're welcome.

Rosalind Franklin was unavailable for comment

Rosalind Franklin will be remembered.

Raise a glass for Rosalind Franklin tonight and honor her memory and scientific contributions

It’s a good day to look up Rosalind Franklin.

The DNA pioneer is Rosalind Franklin.

Justice for Rosalind Franklin.

Thinking only of Rosalind Franklin today, and what was stolen from her (and so many other female scientists alongside her).

So anyway, Rosalind Franklin

This is Rosalind Franklin. The real discoverer of the DNA structure.

Raising a glass for Rosalind Franklin tonight. James Watson absolutely did her dirty. But beware...

Just need everyone to Google the name "Rosalind Franklin" at this moment.

She never had a voice as she died before Watson and Crick were awarded a Nobel alongside her colleague Wilkins. To read her story, you could try, 'Rosalind': www.waterstones.com/book/rosalin...

James Watson, co-discoverer of the double helix, has died. As this article points out, for many years he "had to deal with" accusations that he had stolen a woman, Rosalind Franklin's, work. www.thetimes.com/uk/obituarie...
