It was 50 years ago today  
That W&C came out to say  
“DNA’s a double strand  
Twisted like a ribbon band”  
It grad’ully came into style  
To make all geneticists smile  
So may I introduce to you  
The shape you’ve known for all these years:  
The genetic double-helical straa-and!

😃

Mad propz to Watson & Crick, and an extra shout out to Google, Coolest Search Engine on the Planet.

This is also National Laboratory Week. Here in the US, anyway.
