Yesterday Was National #dnaday…And BTS Fans Did Exactly What You’d Expect
National DNA Day commemorates three major historical events: the successful completion of the Human Genome Project in 2003, the discovery of DNA’s double helix in 1953…and now BTS‘s “DNA” in 2017?
That’s right, A.R.M.Y highjacked the #DNADay hashtag to celebrate BTS’s hit single!

Since DNA Day is supposed to be a day where the public can learn about advances in genomics and genetics, A.R.M.Y shared images of seven specimens with ideal DNA.

Once National DNA Day became International BTS Day, the tweets could not be stopped.

While the rest of the world was posting this:
Happy #DNADay!🔬
Today in 1953 the first papers were published on the structure of DNA! Our series on 'Medicine Through Time' is a great way to commemorate this historic moment with your 14-16s👉 https://t.co/6IMuaib1BC pic.twitter.com/HmnOCQDB7W
