Google's logo today reminds us that it's the 50th anniversary of the discovery of DNA. Neat!

They're lucky The Eagle didn't rudely throw them out at 10 seconds after drinking up time, as seems to be the case these days. If I ever achieve a huge accomplishment I'll find some other pub to rush into.

PS They didn't discover DNA, they modelled it.

Here's an interesting like to Rosalind Franklin's contribution to Watson and Crick's work:

It doesn't go into much detail, but catches the highlights.

There is an execellent PBS movie about this also.
