Some of you Twitter monsters like myself may have cheered with more of less enthusiasm the change in Twitter policy that the limit of characters per tweet is now doubled to 280 characters as opposed to the previous 140.
To test how effective this change could be for science, I decided to conduct the experiment of tweeting the 1953 structure of DNA paper published in Nature by Watson and Crick. The only rule I imposed myself was that the chunks I tweeted had to be paragraphs or complete sentences. I only tweeted the main text body. In total, it took me 28 tweets, which I now reference below for your perusal.
Probably this is the first time this landmark paper has been ever shared via this medium.
