This is the Double Helix sculpture at Newcastle's Centre for Life taken yesterday evening without any polarising filter - the sky truly was that lovely deep colour !
The double helix DNA structure was of course discovered by Crick & Watson using X-Ray diffraction data at Cambridge University in 1953
The Centre for Life in Newcastle upon Tyne is a science village where scientists, clinicians, educationalists and business people come together to promote advancement of the life sciences. In the last decade, their combined efforts have produced spectacular results and have secured Life's reputation as a centre for world class science. Almost 500 people from 30 countries now work on site.
At the heart of the village is the award winning Life Science Centre. It's a bold, colourful and inspiring place. If you're curious about the world around you, you'll love Life!
