Our preprint is out 🎉 ! One day, @_JACain said "If I was a gene I wouldn't like to be inside another gene". Well, he is clearly not a gene as we found thousands of nested genes in mammals and investigated their role ⬇️⬇️⬇️ @rjoakey2012 @rociotmartinez

Today is National #DNADay 🥳
This special day celebrates the completion of the National Genome Project in 2003 and the discovery of DNA’s double helix in 1953 🧬
🗣️ We asked scientists across our labs to tell us an interesting fact about DNA the public may not know

The relationship between Franklin and Maurice Wilkins wasn't always easy
"Since I reorganised my time... she no longer gets under my skin"
Wilkins would later pass a copy of Franklin's 'Photo 51' to James Watson, leading to the creation of an accurate DNA model
#Franklin #DNA
ALT Sir Aaron Klug and Maurice Wilkins annotate some of Rosalind Franklin's notes. "Rather muddled this up" and "she ought to have been well aware..." are some of their comments - indicating that there were plenty of disagreements between the scientists
ALT "Over hasty rejection" writes Wilkins on Franklin's notes - the two did not have the friendliest relationship
ALT "Since I reogarnised my time so that I can concentrate on the job, she no longer gets under my skin" - Wilkins writes about Franklin in a letter to Francis Crick. The rest of the letter detailed Wilkins’ research to date, including a rough sketch of the x-ray diffraction image suggesting the existence of helical layer lines.

FREE PHOTO ID FOR STUDENTS!
This year photo ID presents a new barrier for young people and students to get their voices heard.
So we've teamed up with @CitizenCard to offer FREE voter ID that can be used in next month's Local Elections.

Researchers at King’s College London are looking for participants to take part in an online focus group and/or provide one-to-one feedback on their research plan.
The study will explore a new home-used treatment for depression in IBD.

75%
That’s the percentage of jobs that will be related to STEM areas by 2050.
Yet, as an example, only 28% of current engineering graduates are women.

Has the @bbc actually analysed @GaryLineker’s tweet? Because it is factually accurate. A lot of the tropes used now by Govt: ‘invasion’, ‘menace’ etc, are pretty similar to those used by nationalist parties in 1930s Germany. Why no analysis? Are BBC history presenters muted too?
