very clearly a model of the hydrocarbon C20H20 dodecahedrane.

@WhatisBiotechnology #RosalindFranklin conducted the breakthrough experiment probing the #MolecularStructure of #DNA. But an X-ray diffraction pattern is not an 'image'.

But to restrict depiction of #MolecularStructure (including Bader et al.’s #MolecularGraph ) to two-dimensions would take #science back 150 years, when chemists were ridiculed for believing molecules had a three-dimensional structure!
