London art trail: 'What's in your DNA?'

Greetings fellow Scientists!

Here's another summer recommendation from your Travelling Scientist! Till 6th September you have time to explore 21 sculptures of the DNA double helix decorated by a number of famous artists. Organised by the Cancer Research UK, the art trail is a fantastic opportunity to explore London. Furthermore, the sculptures will be auctioned in September to raise the money towards the Francis Crick Institute.
