## Caption

#OnThisDay in 1953, Watson and Crick forever changed the face of biological science with their discovery of the double helix structure of DNA. Dalí pays homage to them in his 1963 painting "Galacidalacidesoxiribunucleicacid (Homage to Crick and Watson)," depicting a celebration of DNA as the persistence and continuity of human genetic memory. Try saying the painting's name 10 times fast. 😅
