The OG RNA Club: The "RNA Tie Club"

c0nc0rdance @c0nc0rdance.bsky.social · Jul 27

Moving threads over from bird site:

Let's talk about the "RNA Tie Club" & the 20 brilliant scientists (and total nerds) who came together to smoke cigars, drink Scotch & somehow fail to deduce the correct way that DNA codes for proteins.

Six of them became Nobelists.🧪

Four dorky scientists wearing silly ties.
