As a child growing up in Germany, I learned how essential it is for society to embrace the values of democracy. Today I see how quickly a stable government can fall into chaos. And how important it is for all of us to safeguard the liberties of freedom and democracy.

In the 1950s, it was not possible to determine the 3D structure of DNA (or any macromolecule) at atomic resolution. But it was possible to learn about overall DNA parameters by recording the way long DNA fibers scattered x-rays. This is known as x-ray fiber diffraction. 2/n
