Rosalind Franklin died of cancer, probably due to excessive exposure to x-ray since she was so much into x-ray crystallography. And it was her who gave the basis of the double helical structure of DNA but wasn't given the credit that she deserved. She deserved to share the noble prize with Watson, Crick and Wilkins.
One of the main problems with Rosalind Franklin and DNA was that she died too soon. Most people don't realize that Watson and Crick's article did not receive that much fanfare when it first came out. They did not receive the Nobel Price until 1962, nine years after their first publication, and four years after Franklin died. He didn't write The Double Helix until 1968, 10 years after Franklin died. Had she lived, her contribution would have been more publicized. In fact, many people believe that it would have been Watson and Crick sharing the Nobel Prize Physiology and Medicine, with Watkins and Franklin would sharing the Nobel Prize in Chemistry.
Very sad that she died too soon - probably due to her personal contribution to science - but that was her all-consuming occupation? She was part of a huge scientific jig-saw and we have to say the rest is history because that is life - everyone gets their spot in the sun - just some longer than others!

Didn't you built a model of a three-helix molecule with the phosphates on the inside in November 1951? It was Rosalind Franklin who noted that was impossible for it to hold it together because you put it the hydrophobic part on the outside. And we can't forget the famous photo 51 that was shown to you by Raymond Gosling (without Franklin's knowledge) and Max Perutz (a Medical Research Council) showed you Franklin's unpublished research summary about the double helix. I'm sorry sir, but you didn't..

Watson and Crick were the ones who were able to piece together the puzzle; Franklin's picture was only a part of the puzzle, not the majority.

"Other researchers had made important but seemingly unconnected findings about the composition of DNA; it fell to Watson and Crick to unify these disparate findings into a coherent theory of genetic transfer.

but.... Rosalind Franklin told her idea of DNA to her professor (james) and he called it preposterous, and then used it to become famous and Rosalind never really got much credit....
I don't think Franklin's story is told correctly. The internet version of the story which is over aggressive (probably to gain attention) explains her work was simply stolen and she knew the discovery all along. Problem: Why would she keep the information to herself? She does deserve credit even though the most likely scenario is she didn't report the picture because she didn't realize how important it was.
Rosalind gave James Watson the beginning of the instruments for discovering DNA. James Watson improves upon it and did amazing things. Rather than everyone screaming about how this person did that and that person did this. We need to realize that scientific discovery wouldn’t be possible without scientists using other scientists work. It’s the beauty of science, everyone shares their work, others improve upon it and find something.
@pinak-ig4yr "In a 1954 article, Watson and Crick acknowledged that, without Franklin's data, "the formulation of our structure would have been most unlikely, if not impossible""
If you use other people's work and appropriate it as your own it is called plagiarism. The world needs to know the whole truth. It is only when there is something fishy that one will labour to convince the world, else truth is self evident and does not need propping up
This gives me cringe, 9:30 He still doesn't give her credit as a chemist, when she actually was. It is an insult for her to say she didn't know any organic chemistry, even knowing that she worked with viruses and organic compounds. What a horrible person this guy is!
Kreuzritter Pionier that's not correct. She provided a X-ray diffraction image of the DNA that was key for Watson & Crick's model. The problem was that Wilkins, who provided the picture, didn't do it with Rosalind Franklin's approval. She didn't win the Nobel Prize because she died years before the nomination. Probably. if she hasn't died and had received the Nobel Prize with Watson, Crick and Wilkins, history would have forgiven Wilkin's act and Watson would have not treated her like "some assistant" in his book.
Kreuzritter Pionier what an ignorant comment. show some respect to the memory of one of the most important woman science has had. her contribution to science opened a new area of study that is having a relevance this century comparable to that of penicillin on the 20s' so don't spread bullshit about a person so valuable as Franklin
+Renzo Lanfranco The importance of Rosalind was certainly emphasized in Watson's book. The thing about his book was that he didn't hold back on what he thought, he told of all of the positive or negative character traits that many people had. That is one of the reasons the book was so great, it was honest.
She was close but there is no guarantee she would have made it and she doesnt need a nobel now that shes dead. What is more outrageous is the exagerated accolades and fortune showered upon Watson who was little more than Cricks monkey, I mean spy. Crick at least was a genuine "brain" with enough decency to be a recluse and a potential for further contributions to science. That and he did technically do the work. Perhaps more subtle and pervasive problem yet is the whole thing of "I was here first, its mine". What is this, kindergarten. Wilkins is the only decent person with the proper (though socially naive) scientific attitude in the whole story of genetic pioneering, and he rode the bus.
Rosalind Franklin didn't come up with the final structure, but yes, without her data it would have been impossible. Her X-Rays were the final key, but no one was able to decipher them because they showed a 2 dimensional image. These two nuts stole the data and still couldn't crack the structure, till Crick dropped LSD and it hit him. Rosalind Franklin really did 99% of the work, and LSD did the remaining 1%. Sad that those very same X-Rays ended up killing her

@@genericereal Thank you for the most accurate account of what truly transpired with All of these great humans. We have read writing's from Francis Crick, and he gave credit & praise to All the person's you have mentioned, Thanks
Really, really surprised this hasn't gotten more views than it has yet. Many of us know the credit goes to many way beyond Watson and Crick, but it's still a talk by Watson...
PBS Nova, "DNA The Secret of Photo 51" has done a fabulous expose' of the work and true effect Rosalind had and the real deception of others who negated her work. The more important feature should be this film shown before James Watson spoke. I do not want history by the people who betrayed her but the acknowledgement of what her contribution really was. A correction of truth must become attached to any information on the subject.
@@angelachen9629@The Snow Nigro Actually, Roslind's partner, Wilkins told Watson and Crick about the new X-ray during a drink at the local bar near the university. The X-ray was a vertical image, so you could only tell it was a double helix at that moment. I'm saying this just to show that Watson and Crick weren't all bad at their discovery. Of course, Rosalind should have gotten a Nobel Prize with Watson, Wilkins, and Crick, but she sadly perished from cancer due to work with the Xrays in large, lethal amounts.
@The Snow Nigro why don't you read books of 5th grade before studying about history of DNA discovery. I'm a man but I don't think it's required to mention cause you may probably think to be a man support a man nope let me correct you bro,,, To be a man support a human who's right, deserving.
Rosalind Franklin studied X-ray diffraction techniques that was considered to be very difficult at that time. She excelled in her academics, got a PhD degree and found photo51 i.e. the photo of DNA. Watson stole the photo and with his guess work arrived at the right structure of DNA before she could publish her papers. And you know what's the saddest part of the story? She unknowing exposed herself to the X-rays which caused her with cancer and she died at the age of 38 without the recognition she deserved!..☹️
IRREGARDLESS WATSON SEEMS TO BE GENEROUS WITH INFORMATION AND PASSION IN IT. HE EVEN MENTION PEOPLE WHO HELPED COME UP WITH THE SAME SO WATSON DESERVES THE CREDIT
Wrong!!! She came up with her conclusion regarding the structure sooner than them! Even though she mailed her results it was still delivered (on March 6) sooner than watson finished with his results!!! They just put his results in more front page than hers!!! she still got the results faster than them!!!
For anyone here in the comments: Rosalind did not discover DNA structure.... She didnt even realize that the structure was helical. Nor did she realize how the strands would run or how many strands. Now im not taking away that she didnt play a HUUGGGEEEE role in finding the structure. However she never came up with a model on her own. Also for those who say that Watson and Crick stole her pictures, you are wrong. Maurice was in charge of her and was her boss, (although she was left to do as she pleased) therefore he had the ability to give Crick and Watson the photos with zero legalities preventing him from doing so. Also if you dont know she died of cancer before the nobel prize for dna structure was given out which is probably why she never jointly recieved it. (prize rules say you cant recieve it when you are passed away)

My understanding is that she did realise it was helical however it took here a year of hard graft doing molecular calculation. Now you can't deny the genius behind Watson and Crick coming up with the solution so quickly but they did it using Franklyn's photo and I believe without her knowing. It really is down to her work that we have the structure however it was brilliantly interpreted by Watson and Crick.
Enough with "You stole it from Franklin". Wilkins showed the picture of DNA to Watson, so he is to be blamed. By the way Franklin was mentioned in the Nature paper and would have won the Nobel Prize if she didn't die
But Crick and Watson have been denying her contribution of anything until there was legitimate evidence and he still denies her credit. he's a thief and a narcissist.
Rambling On Actually only Wilkins was cited on the Paper not Franklin. It wasn't until a year after that they finally gave her credit and still they boasted about how little her contribution actually was.
liquidvisual 2 months ago No better way to comment this video: "This is offensive. Ted-Ed gives Watson a platform to further belittle Franklin and her contribution. What a revolting turd."
"I discovered it by stealing Miss Rosalind Franklin's x-rays, then did not giver her credit!," James Watson....Of course he will never say or admit this little statement!
I don't usually participate in such discussions as these, but I did find this rather humorous as well as some of those "idiots" that you wrongly labeled. And to say that Watson and Crick are idiots that only rose to fame off of the work of Rosalind's x-rays, is also an opinionated statement. If you listen to his speech you would realize that he did not steal anyone's work but only listened to advice that was given them after they had made mistakes in their own work.
Watson and Crick tried to publish their paper without giving credit to individuals like Rosalind Franklin, who's data was take without her knowledge and used to support their theory.
Bhai why no one is talking about Friedrich Miescher who actually discovered the DNA, although it was a by chance discovery still no one gives credit to him! 🤦♀️
if watson did not mentioned Franklin on hes DNA 1985 book we will never knew her name but after research they did find out was stole from her office..you have to understand she did the work and she did made the DNA helix structure Sequences...every one did they work however try to stab someone because you think you can??? will hunt you down.. here we suppost to talk abou a geneous who did discover DNA but yet Rosalin Franklin is always the ghost of the story...look at us now 7 years later qe still give credits to her... When i teach chemistry i teach her name as part of the credits..
Franklin's photograph is crucial and defining pace of Watson for rediscovery 3D structure of DNA along with Crick. How does Watson stumble upon Franklin's photographs, is the help of Wilkins. Who take out that clear photo without Franklin's permission. In the end, in 1962 Watson, Crick and Wilkins earn the nobel prize. While Franklin had died in 1958.
Are you people in the comments trolling or what? Franklin discovered the dna but she didnt defined its final structure. They both deserve credit for their respective works.
The Famous Xray photo51 was actually taken by grad student Raymond Gosling who work in Dr. Franklin lab overseen by Dr Wilkins. Glad he include his picture.
In 2014, Watson became the first Nobel winner to sell his prize because, he said, the race remarks made him an “unperson,” and he lost all but his academic income after being fired from the boards of companies he sat on. He hoped the sale of the prize (for $4.1 million) would help him to “re-enter public life.” I mean what a shame! 😡
Rosalind showed a röntgen picture, he figured out it had to be a double helix. Sure she should have been mentioned more often but he didn't steal anything.
He didn't steal anything. " Ever cautious, she wanted to eliminate misleading possibilities. Photographs of her Birkbeck work table show that she routinely used small molecular models, although certainly not ones on the grand scale successfully used at Cambridge for DNA. In the middle of February 1953, Crick's thesis advisor, Max Perutz, gave Crick a copy of a report written for a Medical Research Council biophysics committee visit to King's in December 1952, containing many of Franklin's crystallographic calculations.[75] Since Franklin had decided to transfer to Birkbeck College and Randall had insisted that all DNA work must stay at King's, Wilkins was given copies of Franklin's diffraction photographs by Gosling. By 28 February 1953, Watson and Crick felt they had solved the problem enough for Crick to proclaim (in the local pub) that they had "found the secret of life"." (from Wikipedia) He was given data from Rosalind, and he then figured out the structure with some colleagues. Sure Rosalind should've been mentioned more often but to act like Watson is a thief with zero academic skill himself is just madness.
Rosalind Franklin got it least professionally screwed in her brief life, if not literally. That's how it was then. Any thing to publicize her work doesn't benefit her now. So sad, but true.
For clarification he took notes from Rosalind Franklin to help him and Crick to make the model. Although Watson and crick are assholes you can’t take away from them that they did come up with a 3D model of DNA. Most of their understanding though was taken from others.
I'm a male and not a feminist, don't bring sex into it, if Rosalind was a guy I would have said the same thing. Even Watson he did a lot of the mental work (although Francis Crick did much of it with him), he still should have shown humility and credited Rosalind on the X-Rays that he used without permission. Although male scientists have innovated more, some female scientists have done their part as well. But sex shouldn't matter, it's the fact that they are scientists that is important.
The photo was just taken from Rosalind Franklin, or stolen without her permission, by Maurice, -surely that is not right? Had she been a "He", they would have been more polite, and asked about it. It was clandestinely done, so not a correct and polite move. It makes my blood boil. However the relationships between men and women in those days was so different. Women were thought to be assistants, and only got their power through men, and often men were afraid of women, and did not have the knowledge we have today. Clever women were an unknown factor and they were afraid to ask politely. Cynthia Allen McLaglen
The main reason that rosalind franklin ma'am never get the nobel prize.....it turns out that Franklin would not have been eligible for the prize-she had passed away four years before Watson, Crick, and Wilkins received the prize, and the Nobel is never awarded posthumously.
Rosalind showed a röntgen picture, he figured out it had to be a double helix. Sure she should have been mentioned more often but he didn't steal anything.
No he didn't, he was given acces to the research by the university. Which is how all research works. Rosalind had plenty of time to draw her own conclusions from her data but she didn't. He was able to figure it out.
@@mouwersor Get your facts straight, please. Franklin gave the photo to Wilkins voluntarily because she was leaving King's College, but he showed it to Watson without any permission from her. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maurice_Wilkins

RNA VIRUSES 😉😉😉 WHAT WE DO TODAY IN SCIENCE VIRUS MOLECULAR STRUCTURE WHO DO YOU THINK WAS ON THE LIST OF RESEARCH ROSALIN FRANKLIN
He stole the photograph. The rest of his very, very hard work was the result of his own brilliance. Rosalind Franklin was incredibly talented and made a huge contribution with her photograph of the double helix, and then she did not get the credit she deserved. But, by saying "he stole his work", you are undermining all of the rest of the talent that went in to actually elucidating the structure of DNA
I mean it's on the same level as a Lotta Europeans being credited to discoveries that Indians and Chinese had made centuries ago. Watson and Crick used Franklin's photos without her permission. They wouldn't even have discovered the the outer skeleton nature of DNA if Franklin didn't tell them that an inner skeleton is structurally unstable. You could even talk about Edison. Most of his "innovations" were just creations of other people that he patented under his name.
Isaac Newton copied nobodies work and still was humble enough to say "If I have seen further, it is by standing on the shoulders of giants." and you, Dr. Watson, have the balls to make none of your own observations, and merely interpret other people's work and you still cannot give them credit. Wow. Plus, your "Nobel Peace Prize worthy" scientific contribution is basically an eighth grade science project, building a model of somebody else's work
He was given Rosalinds research (among others). Rosalind did not discover the structure of DNA, she only did important research. He and some other guys did figure out the precise structure of DNA.
What Crick and Watson did was a summary of many published research done by many scientists about DNA. Then brainstormed a model based on all of those datas, but without Franklin's unpublished datas, they have zero clue to start with. So yeah, they are a fraud. They are nothing like Charles Darwin and Gregor Mendel.
Take some consolation that the injustice is permanently attached to the historic record Watson would like to have escaped with. History is written and will be monopolized by the winners even in a Free society only if we allow it to be revised away from the Truth.
Rosalind Franklin died of cancer, probably due to excessive exposure to x-ray since she was so much into x-ray crystallography. And it was her who gave the basis of the double helical structure of DNA but wasn't given the credit that she deserved. She deserved to share the noble prize with Watson, Crick and Wilkins.

Rather than everyone screaming about how this person did that and that person did this. We need to realize that scientific discovery wouldn’t be possible without scientists using other scientists work. It’s the beauty of science, everyone shares their work, others improve upon it and find something.

"In a 1954 article, Watson and Crick acknowledged that, without Franklin's data, "the formulation of our structure would have been most unlikely, if not impossible""
If you use other people's work and appropriate it as your own it is called plagiarism. The world needs to know the whole truth. It is only when there is something fishy that one will labour to convince the world, else truth is self evident and does not need propping up
This gives me cringe, 9:30 He still doesn't give her credit as a chemist, when she actually was. It is an insult for her to say she didn't know any organic chemistry, even knowing that she worked with viruses and organic compounds. What a horrible person this guy is!

I was surprised by humble how he was and that he mentioned Rosalind. I wish he would have talked about her contribution a little more.
Kreuzritter Pionier that's not correct. She provided a X-ray diffraction image of the DNA that was key for Watson & Crick's model. The problem was that Wilkins, who provided the picture, didn't do it with Rosalind Franklin's approval. She didn't win the Nobel Prize because she died years before the nomination. Probably. if she hasn't died and had received the Nobel Prize with Watson, Crick and Wilkins, history would have forgiven Wilkin's act and Watson would have not treated her like "some assistant" in his book.
Kreuzritter Pionier what an ignorant comment. show some respect to the memory of one of the most important woman science has had. her contribution to science opened a new area of study that is having a relevance this century comparable to that of penicillin on the 20s'
so don't spread bullshit about a person so valuable as Franklin
+Renzo Lanfranco The importance of Rosalind was certainly emphasized in Watson's book. The thing about his book was that he didn't hold back on what he thought, he told of all of the positive or negative character traits that many people had. That is one of the reasons the book was so great, it was honest.
of course he should be humble, he should be glad he's up there speaking at all!
She was close but there is no guarantee she would have made it and she doesnt need a nobel now that shes dead. What is more outrageous is the exagerated accolades and fortune showered upon Watson who was little more than Cricks monkey, I mean spy. Crick at least was a genuine "brain" with enough decency to be a recluse and a potential for further contributions to science. That and he did technically do the work.
Perhaps more subtle and pervasive problem yet is the whole thing of "I was here first, its mine". What is this, kindergarten. Wilkins is the only decent person with the proper (though socially naive) scientific attitude in the whole story of genetic pioneering, and he rode the bus.
We need another video about how you discovered rosalind franklin's notebooks
Rosalind Franklin didn't come up with the final structure, but yes, without her data it would have been impossible. Her X-Rays were the final key, but no one was able to decipher them because they showed a 2 dimensional image. These two nuts stole the data and still couldn't crack the structure, till Crick dropped LSD and it hit him. Rosalind Franklin really did 99% of the work, and LSD did the remaining 1%. Sad that those very same X-Rays ended up killing her
+Osman Ali Khan
"Rosalind Franklin really did 99% of the work," No she didn't? Watson and Crick were the ones who were able to piece together the puzzle; Franklin's picture was only a part of the puzzle, not the majority.
Furthermore, Watson and Crick also used other scientists' findings to discover DNA, essentially.
"Other researchers had made important but seemingly unconnected findings about the composition of DNA; it fell to Watson and Crick to unify these disparate findings into a coherent theory of genetic transfer. The organic chemist Alexander Todd had determined that the backbone of the DNA molecule contained repeating phosphate and deoxyribose sugar groups. The biochemist Erwin Chargaff had found that while the amount of DNA and of its four types of bases--the purine bases adenine (A) and guanine (G), and the pyrimidine bases cytosine (C) and thymine(T)--varied widely from species to species, A and T always appeared in ratios of one-to-one, as did G and C. Maurice Wilkins and Rosalind Franklin had obtained high-resolution X-ray images of DNA fibers that suggested a helical, corkscrew-like shape. Linus Pauling, then the world's leading physical chemist, had recently discovered the single-stranded alpha helix, the structure found in many proteins, prompting biologists to think of helical forms. Moreover, he had pioneered the method of model building in chemistry by which Watson and Crick were to uncover the structure of DNA. Indeed, Crick and Watson feared that they would be upstaged by Pauling, who proposed his own model of DNA in February 1953, although his three-stranded helical structure quickly proved erroneous."

PBS Nova, "DNA The Secret of Photo 51" has done a fabulous expose' of the work and true effect Rosalind had and the real deception of others who negated her work. The more important feature should be this film shown before James Watson spoke. I do not want history by the people who betrayed her but the acknowledgement of what her contribution really was. A correction of truth must become attached to any information on the subject.
I always get pissed off whenever I hear the two names, Watson and Crick.
Anyways, Rosalind Franklin slays 🔥
Agreed
@The Snow Nigro looks like someone’s male ego is too fragile 🥺
@@angelachen9629@The Snow Nigro Actually, Roslind's partner, Wilkins told Watson and Crick about the new X-ray during a drink at the local bar near the university. The X-ray was a vertical image, so you could only tell it was a double helix at that moment. I'm saying this just to show that Watson and Crick weren't all bad at their discovery. Of course, Rosalind should have gotten a Nobel Prize with Watson, Wilkins, and Crick, but she sadly perished from cancer due to work with the Xrays in large, lethal amounts.
Agreed
@The Snow Nigro why don't you read books of 5th grade before studying about history of DNA discovery.
I'm a man but I don't think it's required to mention cause you may probably think to be a man support a man nope let me correct you bro,,,
To be a man support a human who's right, deserving.
*cough* X-ray Crystallography, of which he was not a practitioner *cough*
Rosalind Franklin studied X-ray diffraction techniques that was considered to be very difficult at that time. She excelled in her academics, got a PhD degree and found photo51 i.e. the photo of DNA. Watson stole the photo and with his guess work arrived at the right structure of DNA before she could publish her papers. And you know what's the saddest part of the story? She unknowing exposed herself to the X-rays which caused her with cancer and she died at the age of 38 without the recognition she deserved!..☹️
IRREGARDLESS WATSON SEEMS TO BE GENEROUS WITH INFORMATION AND PASSION IN IT.
HE EVEN MENTION PEOPLE WHO HELPED COME UP WITH THE SAME SO WATSON DESERVES THE CREDIT
Women😂☕️☕️☕️☕️no one stoled do ur research before spreading false info
Wrong!!! She came up with her conclusion regarding the structure sooner than them! Even though she mailed her results it was still delivered (on March 6) sooner than watson finished with his results!!! They just put his results in more front page than hers!!! she still got the results faster than them!!!
For anyone here in the comments:
Rosalind did not discover DNA structure.... She didnt even realize that the structure was helical. Nor did she realize how the strands would run or how many strands. Now im not taking away that she didnt play a HUUGGGEEEE role in finding the structure. However she never came up with a model on her own. Also for those who say that Watson and Crick stole her pictures, you are wrong. Maurice was in charge of her and was her boss, (although she was left to do as she pleased) therefore he had the ability to give Crick and Watson the photos with zero legalities preventing him from doing so.
Also if you dont know she died of cancer before the nobel prize for dna structure was given out which is probably why she never jointly recieved it. (prize rules say you cant recieve it when you are passed away)

My understanding is that she did realise it was helical however it took here a year of hard graft doing molecular calculation. Now you can't deny the genius behind Watson and Crick coming up with the solution so quickly but they did it using Franklyn's photo and I believe without her knowing. It really is down to her work that we have the structure however it was brilliantly interpreted by Watson and Crick.
incorrect my buddy ol pal
Enough with "You stole it from Franklin". Wilkins showed the picture of DNA to Watson, so he is to be blamed. By the way Franklin was mentioned in the Nature paper and would have won the Nobel Prize if she didn't die
But Crick and Watson have been denying her contribution of anything until there was legitimate evidence and he still denies her credit. he's a thief and a narcissist.

I don't usually participate in such discussions as these, but I did find this rather humorous as well as some of those "idiots" that you wrongly labeled. And to say that Watson and Crick are idiots that only rose to fame off of the work of Rosalind's x-rays, is also an opinionated statement. If you listen to his speech you would realize that he did not steal anyone's work but only listened to advice that was given them after they had made mistakes in their own work.
without proper crediation which is plagiarism
Watson and Crick tried to publish their paper without giving credit to individuals like Rosalind Franklin, who's data was take without her knowledge and used to support their theory.
7:50 WTF is with the awkward shot of this lady?
That's probably Linus Pauling's grand daughter.
After coming to the comment section, it feels so good that everyone now knows who discovered DNA
Bhai why no one is talking about Friedrich Miescher who actually discovered the DNA, although it was a by chance discovery still no one gives credit to him! 🤦♀️
This isn’t about the discovery of DNA. The title is wrong. It’s about the discovery of the structure of DNA.
did James and Crick REALLY steal Franklin's discovery? how did y'all know?
Al James and Crick didn’t directly steal it. Wilkins, who was Franklin’s lab partner, stole the Photo 51 and gave it to Watson and Crick
By how he is speaking on this stage and the way he built initial models , says it all
if watson did not mentioned Franklin on hes DNA 1985 book we will never knew her name but after research they did find out was stole from her office..you have to understand she did the work and she did made the DNA helix structure Sequences...every one did they work however try to stab someone because you think you can??? will hunt you down..

Ok keyboard warrior.
You didn't discover it! You stole it from Rosalind Elsie Franklin!!!
Rosalind showed a röntgen picture, he figured out it had to be a double helix. Sure she should have been mentioned more often but he didn't steal anything.
Watson stole Rosalinds pictures of dna. She didnt show anything. She worked by herself
He didn't steal anything. " Ever cautious, she wanted to eliminate misleading possibilities. Photographs of her Birkbeck work table show that she routinely used small molecular models, although certainly not ones on the grand scale successfully used at Cambridge for DNA. In the middle of February 1953, Crick's thesis advisor, Max Perutz, gave Crick a copy of a report written for a Medical Research Council biophysics committee visit to King's in December 1952, containing many of Franklin's crystallographic calculations.[75]
Since Franklin had decided to transfer to Birkbeck College and Randall had insisted that all DNA work must stay at King's, Wilkins was given copies of Franklin's diffraction photographs by Gosling. By 28 February 1953, Watson and Crick felt they had solved the problem enough for Crick to proclaim (in the local pub) that they had "found the secret of life"." (from Wikipedia)
He was given data from Rosalind, and he then figured out the structure with some colleagues. Sure Rosalind should've been mentioned more often but to act like Watson is a thief with zero academic skill himself is just madness.
nope
Moronic, imbecilic, Leftist revisionism.
Rosalind Franklin got it least professionally screwed in her brief life, if not literally. That's how it was then. Any thing to publicize her work doesn't benefit her now. So sad, but true.
The DNA molecule was discovered by Friedrich Miescher in 1869. In 1944, Oswald Avery demonstrated that DNA was the carrier of genes.
For clarification he took notes from Rosalind Franklin to help him and Crick to make the model. Although Watson and crick are assholes you can’t take away from them that they did come up with a 3D model of DNA. Most of their understanding though was taken from others.
I bet you hate Elon Musk for stealing the car from Ford?
@@ThatCoalSoul I never said I hate them. I was just clarifying that they stole notes. It’s well documented.
@@ThatCoalSoul ohh yeah, scientific discoveries and cars are freaking same thing, you're right
I'm a male and not a feminist, don't bring sex into it, if Rosalind was a guy I would have said the same thing. Even Watson he did a lot of the mental work (although Francis Crick did much of it with him), he still should have shown humility and credited Rosalind on the X-Rays that he used without permission. Although male scientists have innovated more, some female scientists have done their part as well. But sex shouldn't matter, it's the fact that they are scientists that is important.
your account is Not completely honest... forgot Ms. Rosalind Franklin?
ADD TO QUEUE
Rosalind Franklin discovered DNA period
False
She just took the photo. the person who found out that DNA is the molecule that stores genetic information was Oswald Avery
Title correction: "How Rosalind Franklin did most of the work but I took all the credit"
The title is wrong. Watson and Crick found the structure of DNA, as Watson said here at the outset. DNA was already known, but not its structure.
The photo was just taken from Rosalind Franklin, or stolen without her permission, by Maurice, -surely that is not right? Had she been a "He", they would have been more polite, and asked about it. It was clandestinely done, so not a correct and polite move. It makes my blood boil. However the relationships between men and women in those days was so different. Women were thought to be assistants, and only got their power through men, and often men were afraid of women, and did not have the knowledge we have today. Clever women were an unknown factor and they were afraid to ask politely. Cynthia Allen McLaglen
The main reason that rosalind franklin ma'am never get the nobel prize.....it turns out that Franklin would not have been eligible for the prize-she had passed away four years before Watson, Crick, and Wilkins received the prize, and the Nobel is never awarded posthumously.
