Francis Crick Institute, London, 2022
This biomedical research centre in London, was set up as a partnership between Cancer Research UK, Imperial College London, King’s College London, the Medical Research Council, University College London and the Wellcome Trust, and is named after Francis Crick, co-discoverer of the structure of DNA.
It is also known as Sir Paul’s Cathedral, a play on the names of the Chief Executive and Director of the Francis Crick Institute, Sir Paul Nurse, and a rather famous cathedral in London.
Now over to all of you. Do come and join us in our Saturday six-word musings.
I’ll admit that many of us openly break the numeric rule and share far more words (all excellent of course!) so the key rule is to have a title of six words – and then create around that the post that you desire! Perhaps in bunches of 6 words if you’re feeling inspired.
To join the challenge, please put a link in your post to the URL of this post. Then come back here and leave us a comment. If you have any problems with linking, just put your own URL into the comment. And do feel free to socialise digitally – tweet, instagram, flickr, etc. with the hashtags #SixWordSaturday and #6WS.

Good one but I’m glad you explained it for those of us not in the know. 🙂 When I saw the title, I thought it had to do with a certain Beatle. 🙂

Wonderful word play – I wonder what happens if Paul Nurse (what an appropriate name, too) retires …
I’m harking back to your oddity from yesterday: https://picturesimperfectblog.wordpress.com/2022/02/12/a-fat-woman-sees-her-toes/

I read saint rather than sir when I first saw this, Debbie… I thought it must have been a photo from around the back! 😀
I’ve done a little research for today’s six words… just a little research! https://wp.me/pVkLb-5Lk

Hi Debbie
I like the word play in the name Sir Paul’s Cathedral although a most un-cathedral-looking cathedral judging by your photo.
Here’s my Six Word Saturday story:
Best, Babsje

A very impressive building, saw it last week from Ossulston Street and wondered what it was, now I know 🙂 https://alondonmiscellany.wordpress.com/2022/02/12/brands-but-not-as-know-them/

I come into London at St Pancras and it is waiting for me! It is built on land that was originally part of the British Library site. I must go out into the BL terrace again soon and see what the view of Crick is like from there.

that could be confusing!

I don’t think it’s a very well known name. Fortunately. Or there could be many a confused tourist.

I love it. It’s like a constructivist assemblage. I really like it when the architectural photo becomes almost abstract, and is just a matter of geometry.

Glad you like it, Arnaud. I think these smaller views often show off the beauty in a more striking way than a full view. I think the work of Helene Binet really showed me that.

Lovely play with words. Francis Crick got the Nobel Prize for the DNA-structure if I recall it correctly. Sir Paul is unknown to me.

I didn’t know St Paul either. But yes Crick is now very famous.
