The Double Helix: A Personal Account of the Discovery of the Structure of DNA | 
Despite Watson's perennially terrible opinions, the work of Watson, Crick and Franklin is part of what inspired me to take a left turn and study science after I got my two English Lit degrees.
Here's my incredibly apropos BSc graduation present from my wife: pendant and matching earrings.
(From sciencejewelry1824.com/ They're way too persistent with notifs and follow ups, but say no to those and you'll be fine. The jewellery itself is lovely.)
I'd rather be getting in some quality reading time with my lonely TBR shelf. Instead, I'm studying for my testimony coming up on Thursday. Absolute worst part of my job - it's so draining as an introvert! Wish me luck! 💜
pickRegarding an after-dinner anecdote Watson shared about the discovery: "my unexpected candor elicited much laughter and was later praised for allowing the audience to feel like insiders into one of science's big moments." This annotated & illustrated version was very entertaining!
NOW I need to read a book about Franklin.
Ian McEwan blurbs on the back of my library's copy of The Annotated & Illustrated: "... best book I know about a scientific discovery-" (I just finished a book by IMcE)
#booktober My #bookmarks are the library reminder slip of due date and a label off of a mini pie I once bought...
#workspacebooks I am a science nerd but in addition to text books I love reading History of Science books #septphotochallenge
