The Wellcome Digital Library project was today featured on BBC Radio 4's "Today" programme. The report by Fergus Walsh, medical correspondent of the BBC featured recordings from King's College London, Wellcome Trust and Churchill Archives, Cambridge. The report centered on the archives relating to the critical discovery of the structure of DNA and the contributions of Crick, Franklin, Watson and Wilkins respectively.
The report can be heard on the BBC iPlayer (for those based in the UK) for the next week and starts at the 02:50 mark until 02.55. (http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/b01hjs46/Today_16_05_2012/) or is available on the Today programme website (http://news.bbc.co.uk/today/hi/today/newsid_9721000/9721286.stm).
In the visit to King's, Fergus Walsh was given a tour of our principle vault and shown "Photo 51" alongside a number of other items in the joint Maurice Wilkins/Biophysics collection. Some of these images can be seem on his blog post (http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/health-18041884).
For our partner institutions, a photo gallery of Crick correspondence from the Wellcome Trust collection was put up on the BBC Today programme home page (http://news.bbc.co.uk/today/hi/default.stm).
