It is a revelation reading about Schroedinger to be delving his way into biology by simply asking the question: -How does this gene physically encode the information that defines life? - Highly analytical question from a very analytical mind that threw into Physics his famous Schrodinger Equation! Another revelation was the information regarding a woman who was around during the time that the DNA structure was discovered. Years ago, as I read the narration regarding how the DNA Structure was discovered, it left me with an impression that personal conflict can exist between colleagues. It amused me, especially as I looked around and saw little disagreements here and there between famous people in my own sphere. Those observations were simply erased as I look back and digested DNA's discovery and concluded: -The observations I have regarding people's conflict is just small compared to the event on how DNA was discovered! - I was amused then, but not amused now knowing that the notes from Franklin was being used by Watson and Crick without her knowledge! There was a mention of Bragg in that book but I didn't remember of any Franklin. The term you used -BRASH- was not enough. Another revelation regarding a -mole- within a scientific endeavor: As you have said, Wilkins was passing Franklin's notes to Watson and Crick. Is there any punishment for a -Science Spy-? Another revelation which I am going to give in a question form: Is there a possibility to create HUMAN LIFE by means of Biotechnology?

Honesty in school they teach you a lot of things useless such as this, but teachers might say we are showing you different things so you might know what you want to do in the future. something along the lines of that. But making me do work i don't like such as this stuff makes me less interested in this stuff and makes me less likely to want to do more things in school, and i think many other students could agree. so dont reply completely hating me, tell me any other claims of why people should learn things useless in school and i already heard to expand knowledge but that idk what major value will that have in someones life on not even a daily maybe not even a weekly basis, i mean usually student forget things they learn in classes like science after summer. so whats the point?

8: 57 not entirely true. moleculat phylogenetics has truly been a revolution in the study of evolution. however, physical features are still used to study evolution. in fact, it is the only way to study evolution in fossiles, like dinosaurs. dna in evolution can only be used in non-extinct organisms. and physical features are as much reliable as dna, since molecular phylogenetics have many issues and problems as well. in fact, you can get many different results depending on the dna sequence you use, or the algorithm to build the phylogentic tree, or to build the multiple sequence alignment. same basic problems with physical features.

ok discovery and formation of dna to databasing the dna, to then trying to change it.
in essense, biotech engineering is splicing. and recombinator is spiderman 90s show!
whoa. court says if you engineer a lifeform is becomes a tech - ruling by scotus. talk about materialism! it made a patent on an oil eating microbe.

Hi Crash Course Team! I'm wondering if you guys could do a series on cities? As in town planning. What makes good cities and look at both historical and present theories and cities? Would be amazing!

Thanks for trying to make it fun but. you could. add other extractions from videos or edit in your own instead of droning on and on its kinda boring

You'd think that with time we would understand more of the world, but it usually results in -we now know that it's more complex than that. -

You should talk about the revolutionary techniques that arose in Biotechnology and Biochemistry in the last 70 years, like PCR and the like

3: 26 in fairness to Watson he is also so astonishingly racist that almost no one is still willing to publicly associate with him.
