Lysander’s Spartan Navies and Armies defeat the Athenians thus ending the Peloponnesian War, 404 B.C. following over a quarter-century of hostilities. Whether the Spartans or the Athenians should rule became totally moot a half-century later when Philip of Macedon conquered the whole of Greece.
Francis Crick and James D. Watson publish Molecular structure of nucleic acid, describing the now-famous double-helix structure of DNA, 1953.

This is a pretty significant day, then. I've been trying to think of something I can share with my students who are struck with end of year itis right now and just want each day to pass quickly. This will be my nugget for today- thank you!
