Was Crick wrong? Do frozen accidents really exist? What role does chance play, and what would it take to unfreeze them? I’ve organized many conferences before, but I’m extra happy to invite you to this one 🥶. Speakers include Nick Lane, Sefy Hendler, Carolina Mangone and others (see poster).

Francis Crick controversially proposed that the genetic code was a “frozen accident”: a chance choice that became difficult to change because so much had evolved around it. On November 20 in Paris, we’ll explore this idea across biology, art and literature.

Last week, we trained the new #MIRAVAPOLYSCOPE at Crick Advanced Light Microscopy (CALM) Facility in London together with PHOTON LINES🔬.
It was great to explore and train the system together with Rocco D'Antuono and Rosalind Norkett.
Happy Imaging with the new MIRAVA!

For many disciplines, the cost of cutting-edge research can be prohibitively expensive. Leading researchers concentrate in dedicated high-profile institutes such as the Francis Crick Institute (a magnet for funding), or buy time on shared community resources such as the Large Hadron Collider.

Seriously, when does this twat have a bath? He's always shagging Mrs This and Mrs That, and then he goes to bed with his wife with a crick in his neck. Then next morning he is up betime to go and do something by the docks from which he stands to make 50l, of which he is very pleased

Beautiful short thread by Rosa Nastro:
Rosalind Franklin's meticulous work provided the clarity needed to understand the molecule of life, the structure of DNA.
Here I want to remember her as a woman and as an excellent scientist, who died too early to receive the credit she deserved.🌹

I learnt about Watson and Crick when I studied Genetics and Molecular Biology, but I di not remember any mention to Rosalind in my text book or by the lecturer at the Uni.
A collegue of mine, biochemist, talked to me about her. And this is so unfair! Anyway, thanks for stopping by. 🙂

How do your airways fight the common cold? 🦠
Research from King’s and the Francis Crick Institute shows how airway cells can physically push rhinovirus-infected cells out of the tissue, helping clear infection, but potentially giving the virus another way to spread.
