Everybody who wants to favor Rosalind Franklin thinks that Watson and Crick were kind of sexist pigs who stole her data. The first bit of that description is probably accurate. The second bit isn’t.

Given this dynamic, Franklin likely freely shared her knowledge of DNA's spiral structure with Watson and Crick, the Nature paper suggests. The second piece of evidence was a letter written by ...

Rosalind Franklin's X-ray images allowed James Watson and Francis Crick to decipher DNA's double-helix shape, before the pair told a Cambridge pub: 'We have discovered the secret of life'.

Watson and Crick were working on modeling DNA’s shape at Cambridge University. Meanwhile, Franklin — an expert in X-ray imaging — was studying the molecules at King’s College in London ...

Rosalind Franklin, a scientist at the University of London, had already documented the helical nature of DNA when Watson and Crick accessed her unpublished data without permission and used it to ...

Watson and Crick describe structure of DNA 1953 Photo: Model of DNA molecule. ... Meanwhile at King's College in London, Maurice Wilkins (b. 1916) and Rosalind Franklin were also studying DNA.

KELLY: Rosalind Franklin died in 1958 at the age of 37, four years before Watson, Crick and another scientist were awarded the Nobel Prize for their work, with no mention of Franklin's contribution.

On April 25, 1953, James Watson and Francis Crick published a landmark paper in Nature, proposing the double helix as the long elusive structure of DNA, a discovery that a decade later earned the ...

In 1962, scientists James Watson, Francis Crick and Maurice Wilkins received the Nobel Prize in Medicine for discovering the double helix structure of DNA. However, it has long been believed that ...

In an opinion piece published Tuesday, April 25, 2023, in the journal Nature, two historians are suggesting that while James Watson and Francis Crick did rely on research from Rosalind Franklin ...

NEW YORK (AP) — The discovery of DNA’s double helix structure 70 years ago opened up a world of new science — and also sparked disputes over who contributed what and who deserves credit.
