your older siblings, but none of them can compare to the influence of St Francis of Assisi. This influencer was an Italian religious preacher and leader who was born on the c. 1182 Assisi, Umbria, Italy. St. Francis of Assisi is the patron saint of animals & the environment who could also be viewed as the original Earth Day advocate. Francis' devotion to God was expressed through his love for all of God's creation. St. Francis cared for the poor and sick, he preached sermons to animals, and…

1883, Sir Francis Galton, a respected British scholar and cousin of Charles Darwin, first used the term eugenics, meaning “well-born.” Galton believed that the human race could help direct its future by selectively breeding individuals who have “desired” traits. This idea was based on Galton’s study of upper class Britain. Following these studies, Galton concluded that an elite position in society was due to a good genetic makeup. While Galton’s plans to improve the human race through…

fantastic tale to give a first-hand account about the journeys of the five main winners, namely, Francis Crick, Maurice Wilkins, Rosalind Franklin, Linus Pauling and himself. The race first begins when Watson, an American, finds himself in the Cavendish Laboratory of Cambridge University in 1951, to work alongside a group of scientists to work on the structure of protein. This is where he first met Francis Crick, his fellow colleague and main collaborator. Both Watson and Crick agreed…

DNA was discovered through the collaboration of several scientists, most notably James Watson and Francis Crick. The two main methods used in the discovery of the structure of DNA was experimental, through X-ray crystallography, and theoretical, through building a model based upon the experimental data. Linus Pauling, James Watson, and Francis Crick were proponents of the theoretical model for the structure of DNA, while Erwin Chargaff, Maurice Wilkens, and Rosalind Franklin were champions of…

Saint Francis of Assisi is one of the most beloved and well known saints of the world today. Saint Francis was born on 1181. Saint Francis was born into a wealthy family. Francis later participated in the fourth crusade. Francis obviously wanted more than wealth but to be a noble knight and have power. Most troops from Assisi were butchered but those who were wealthy were to be imprisoned then later ransomed out. After a year in a prison Francis was ransomed out. However the only battle he…

Saint Francis of Assisi is one of the most recognizable saints in the Catholic faith. The story of his life gives some reason as to why that may be. Saint Francis grew up in France and was named after his home country to reflect his father’s non-religious and business-driven dreams for him. His family consisted of wealthy cloth merchants who catered to his every whim. During his late adolescent years, Francis became attracted to a life of sin, partying often and giving into many vices.…

When Francis Crick and James Watson(top photo) discovered the secret of life found in DNA, many believed that the genetic revolution was upon them. As the understanding of genetic code grew, people began to hope for healthier lives and an end of inherited diseases. Although the fear of scientists playing god grew as well. This simple molecule was now basic unit of creation, and another pair of scientists were looking to find how its structure worked. Rosalind Franklin and Maurice…

Joseph Brillinger – 101012500 Khorana, Nirenberg and Holley won the 1968 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine for their interpretation of the genetic code and its function in protein synthesis. In 1953 James Watson and Francis Crick revealed the structure and properties of deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) to be made of nucleic acids arranged in a double helix.…

experiments on white blood cells showed that the nuclein dissolved in weak alkalies but not in water and acids. Later studies demonstrated that all living organisms have DNA and that any kinds of cell such as hair, skin, or plant cells all have DNA. Plenty of research and experimentation went into solving the structure of DNA and the invention of paper chromatography allowed Erwin Chargaff (1905-2002) to make a contribution in establishing the structure of DNA and how it transmitted genetic…

Linus Pauling was awarded the Nobel Prize in chemistry 1954 "for his research into the nature of the chemical bond and its application to the elucidation of the structure of complex substances"1 however he made significant discoveries in many areas of chemistry including physical and biochemistry. He also made several contributions to both theoretical and applied science from genetic diseases to diagnostic technology.2 Professor G. Hägg, member of the Nobel Committee for Chemistry stated in 1954…
