About this listen

 Wade unravels the twisted tale of DNA's discovery, focusing on Rosalind Franklin's crucial yet underrecognized contributions. Through her meticulous X-ray crystallography work, Franklin provided the critical evidence Watson and Crick needed for their famous double helix model, yet her data was shared without her consent and her role minimized for decades. This episode explores scientific ethics, gender bias in research, and how credit is distributed in collaborative discoveries.
