rosalind franklin discovered the double helix in dna but her research was stolen by two men before she could properly share the information and now watson and crick are famous for what she spent years studying

Plus she developed ovarian cancer that was most likely caused by radiation from the HUNDREDS of hours spent using x ray crystallography to ascertain the structure. She literally worked herself to death to be a footnote in most genetics textbooks.

I’d like to say that I was taught in high school of Rosalind Franklin and what Watson and Crick did. They literally called them out on their bullshit in my class and used it as an example of how deadly competitive the science world is.
