Your DNA helix is backwards, btw.

How can a helix be “backward” exactly?
Show threadPaul CoenJul 19, 2023

@negative12dollarbill @TRyanGregory Think of it like a screw. DNA always twists to the right, not the left. A screw is a helix.

You could have a screw that’s LH threaded, and that’s used in some applications, but DNA never does.

@negative12dollarbill @TRyanGregory DNA is a chiral molecule, and always twists to the right (clockwise) as it goes up. The Faux News illustration twists to the left.

DNA's twist to the right is not to be meddled with, so let's lose the lefties

Adam Rutherford: It has a simplicity that disguises its colossal power – a ladder twisting up to the right. Yet all too often DNA is misrepresented

@zenkat @negative12dollarbill @TRyanGregory I'm more shocked to realize Cookie Monster's right eye MUST be higher than the left (in the photo. I suppose it would be HIS left eye is higher)

Could be worse. I remember when. Neil deGrasse Tyson was on the Daily Show with Jon Stewart, and pointed out that they had the earth rotating the wrong direction.

@TRyanGregory @lisamelton I think that’s just a ladder that someone accidentally got stuck in a ceiling fan or something.

@TRyanGregory Are there any studies that scientifically prove that science works? I don't think so...

Despite knowing you are joking, a good example of “scientifically proving science works” is https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mendelian_inheritance.
