Francis Crick
Francis Harry Compton Crick OM FRSwas a British molecular biologist, biophysicist, and neuroscientist, most noted for being a co-discoverer of the structure of the DNA molecule in 1953 with James Watson. Together with Watson and Maurice Wilkins, he was jointly awarded the 1962 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine "for their discoveries concerning the molecular structure of nucleic acids and its significance for information transfer in living material"...

assuming certain code deduce english-scientist information limited using
By using polymers of different composition and assuming a triplet code one can deduce limited information about the composition of certain triplets.
brain essentials details
It is essential to understand our brains in some detail if we are to assess correctly our place in this vast and complicated universe we see all around us.
criticism height scientist
A good scientist values criticism almost higher than friendship: no, in science criticism is the height and measure of friendship.
science average paper
There is no form of prose more difficult to understand and more tedious to read than the average scientific paper.
atheist ifs
If revealed religions have revealed anything it is that they are usually wrong.
horse pigs molecules
Haemoglobin is a very large molecule by ordinary standards, containing about ten thousand atoms, but the chances are that your haemoglobin and mine are identical, and significantly different from that of a pig or horse. You may be impressed by how much human beings differ from one another, but if you were to look into the fine details of the molecules of which they are constructed, you would be astonished by their similarity.
free-will
Free will is located in or near the anterior cingulate sulcus.
synthesis protein genuine
Moreover the incorporation requires the same components needed for protein synthesis, and is inhibited by the same inhibitors. Thus the system is most unlikely to be a complete artefact and is very probably closely related to genuine protein synthesis.
ideas feelings mind
It is not easy to convey, unless one has experienced it, the dramatic feeling of sudden enlightenment that floods the mind when the right idea finally clinches into place.
agreement acid mutation
A comparison between the triplets tentatively deduced by these methods with the changes in amino acid sequence produced by mutation shows a fair measure of agreement.
engineering hacking reverse
You can do reverse engineering, but you can’t do reverse hacking.
want structure-and-function study
If you want to understand function, study structure,
neurons packs
You’re nothing but a pack of neurons.
indirect method evidence
It has yet to be shown by direct biochemical methods, as opposed to the indirect genetic evidence mentioned earlier, that the code is indeed a triplet code.
