70 years ago, on February 28, 1953, James D. Watson and Francis Crick interrupted patrons’ lunchtime at the Eagle Pub in Cambridge to announce that they have, “discovered the secret of life” — the structure of the DNA double helix. In recognition of this historic event, the Student Affiliates of the American Society of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology at TTU is sponsoring the Week of Biochemistry. We invite all students to join us in celebrating and plan several events throughout the week:
Monday, Feb. 27 @ 6pm in LSC 1211 — Test your scientific knowledge at Trivia Night! There will be prizes!
Tuesday, Feb. 28, 11 am to 2 pm in the LSC South Atrium — Bake Sale
Wednesday, Mar. 1 @ 7pm in LSC 1211 — Screening of the movie Knives Out, a 2019 mystery film about a detective investigating the death of the patriarch of a wealthy, dysfunctional family. Starring Daniel Craig, Chris Evans, and Jamie Lee Curtis.
Thursday, Mar. 2 @ 11 am in SLH 126 — Dr. Jeffrey O. Boles will be presenting a research talk about Unnatural Amino Acids.
