Rosalind Franklin, chemist & X-ray crystallographer, was born #OnThisDay in 1920. Her work on X-ray diffraction images of DNA helped lead to the discovery of the structure of DNA, but her efforts were only recognised posthumously. #RosalindFranklinbit.ly/2Hl8bkA
Congratulations to #livMatS researcher and biologist Dr. Max Mylo @PlantBioMax! He received the Camillo Schneider Award 2023 from the German Dendrological Society for his dissertation on damage control in #plants.

Interesting development in France. The National Council of Universities for Health Disciplines (I don't know if the translation is correct) has published a whitelist of recommendable non-predatory journals. Maybe this is the way to go. What do you think?
