Francis Crick - Bilingual quotes that celebrate the beauty of language, showcasing meaningful expressions in two unique perspectives.
Francis Crick was a prominent British scientist renowned for his role in discovering the structure of DNA. Alongside James Watson, he proposed the double-helix model in 1953, which transformed our understanding of genetics. This breakthrough provided insight not only into heredity but also into the mechanisms of biological processes. Crick’s work significantly advanced molecular biology, paving the way for further research in genetics and bioinformatics. In addition to his work on DNA, Crick made important contributions to our understanding of the genetic code and its relation to the synthesis of proteins. His theories suggested how sequences of nucleotides translate into amino acids, forming the building blocks of life. This understanding was vital in the field of biochemistry, influencing how scientists approach genetic engineering and biotechnology today. Later in his career, Crick explored neurobiology and consciousness, delving into the complexities of how the brain functions. He was interested in the relationship between physical processes in the brain and the nature of conscious experience. His interdisciplinary approach continued to inspire research across various scientific fields, and he remained a respected figure in the scientific community until his passing in 2004.

Francis Crick was a British molecular biologist best known for discovering the structure of DNA in collaboration with James Watson. Their iconic double-helix model revolutionized genetic science.

Crick's work extended beyond DNA, as he also contributed to understanding the genetic code, which is essential for protein synthesis and a cornerstone of molecular biology.

In his later years, Crick shifted focus to the study of neurobiology and consciousness, investigating the link between brain functions and conscious experiences, continuing to influence various scientific disciplines.

Taffy. He thinks about taffy. He thinks it would take his teeth out now, but he would eat it anyhow, if it meant eating it with her.

All our human endeavours are like that, she reflected, and it is only because we are too ignorant to realize it, or are too forgetful to remember it, that we have the confidence to build something that is meant to last.

In fact, none of us knows how he ever managed to get his LLB in the first place. Maybe they're putting law degrees in cornflakes boxes these days.

The value of money is subjective, depending on age. At the age of one, one multiplies the actual sum by 145,000, making one pound seem like 145,000 pounds to a one-year-old. At seven – Bertie's age – the multiplier is 24, so that five pounds seems like 120 pounds. At the age of twenty four, five pounds is five pounds; at forty five it is divided by 5, so that it seems like one pound and one pound seems like twenty pence. {All figures courtesy of Scottish Government Advice Leaflet: Handling your Money.}

Look, if you say that science will eventually prove there is no God, on that I must differ. No matter how small they take it back, to a tadpole, to an atom, there is always something they can't explain, something that created it all at the end of the search. And no matter how far they try to go the other way – to extend life, play around with the genes, clone this, clone that, live to one hundred and fifty – at some point, life is over. And then what happens? When the life comes to an end? I shrugged. You see? He leaned back. He smiled. When you come to the end, that's where God begins.

Small towns are like metronomes; with the slightest flick, the beat changes.

You say you should have died instead of me. But during my time on earth, people died instead of me, too. It happens every day. When lightning strikes a minute after you are gone, or an airplane crashes that you might have been on. When your colleague falls ill and you do not. We think such things are random. But there is a balance to it all. One withers, another grows. Birth and death are part of a whole.
by Mitch Albom
we get so many lives between birth and death. A life to be a child. A life to come of age. A life to wander, to settle, to fall in love, to parent, to test our promise, to realize our mortality-and, in some lucky cases, to do something after that realization.

Where there's bluster, thinks Luisa, there's duplicity
by David Mitchell
I have the tendency to be nervous at the sight of trouble looming. As the danger draws near, I become less nervous. When the peril is at hand, I swell with fierceness. As I grapple with my assailant, I am without fear and fight to the finish with little thought of injury.
