Discovery of the Structure of DNA On the last day of February in 1953, according to James Watson, Francis Crick announced to the patrons of the Eagle Pub in Cambridge, ?We have discovered the secret of life? (Watson 115, 1980). As Brian Hayes, the author of ?The Invention of the Genetic Code? states, ?If life ever had a secret, the double helix of DNA was surely it? (1). However, it was not the work of these two men alone that led to the discovery of the power the lies within the double helix, but rather the work of many scientists that was carefully picked apart and pieced together by the two who received the most fame for the work.

Reuben Chemmanam K. Medlin English 2 5 September 2013 The Ugly Facts The outline of this author?s article implies that America?s new generation is heading into a discouraging future. Furthermore, she states that only 33 percent of eighth-graders and 24 percent of twelfth-graders were proficient at writing with only a pencil and paper in 2007. The author blames misspelled advertisements, language-poor environments, and schools. Her argument mostly dwells on the lax method of teaching writing in modern education. The article suggests we push every one of our pupils to learn how to write despite their learning styles. Overall she says that teaching the students how to write proficiently makes them successful in life.

Darwin?s Finches: HARVARD GAZETTE ARCHIVES Copyright 2006 by the President and Fellows of Harvard College Arkhat Abzhanov checks out a selection of Darwin's finches preserved in the Harvard Museum of Natural History. He and his colleagues discovered a molecule that controls the length of the birds' beaks, which enhance their ability to survive on available seeds and insects.
