Happy birthday Rosalind Franklin (1920 – 1958), #chemist & x-ray #crystallographer whose x-ray diffraction images were instrumental to discovering double-helix structure of #DNA, made important contributions to #carbon & #virus research, was 1 of the great scientists of the 20th century.
Watson’s bio lead some to (inaccurately) joke, “What did Watson and Crick discover?” “Rosalind Franklin’s notes.” 🧵

The Ebola outbreak in the Democratic Republic of Congo has grown to nearly 500 suspected cases and 116 deaths, and the World Health Organization has declared it a public health emergency of international concern. @NBCNews has more on how the virus spreads and the risk of a larger outbreak.
I hope nobody is still waiting around for #hybridimmunity to start kicking in.
The more times we catch a vasculopathic immune depleting #virus, the fewer healthy outcomes can be expected- that is ultimately where the science generally points. Nobody wants to think about it, I don't either, but it's probably here to stay at this rate, so that's why I still #MaskUp at the grocery store.
