RE: The Double Helix, Photo 51 and the Challenge of Priority: Who Gets Credit in Science?
Hey @agmoore,
thank you for this marvelous article again. I'm hoíghly interested in the history of science and the persons behind. Especially in the case of Franklin vs. Watson, Crick & Co., it is a real shame. In a later book of both (W&G), they just mentioned her besides in a bit derogatory manner as "Rosi". In fact, she was the genius mind making all this possible. Unfortunately, she died of ovarian cancer later one. That's the real drama.
The next drama is that science is often too much "fishing for fame" than improving mankind.
About the pictures: Are they all copyright free? Can you write it under them to make sure there is no copyright violation? It's important for @steemstem if you want to become upvoted.
Have a nice weekend

I was just getting ready to turn in when I saw your comment. You made me happy :) Thanks a lot.
The photos are all labeled, but perhaps the labels are too small. So I took your advice and went back to add a note at the bottom of each. Also, at the end of the blog, I have added a note indicating that the pictures are labeled. Whew!
I was also very moved by the Photo 51 story. Disgraceful. I don't know how those Nobel Laureates could face the public after the story became known.
My training (undergraduate) is in history, so I eat this stuff up. So glad there are other people who enjoy the material.
You have a great weekend and thanks again for the advice.
Peace, always,
AG
Another interesting story is the discovery of DNA by Friedrich Miescher.
Maybe I will write something about this one day, if you are not faster ;-).
😅
I look forward to reading it...my racing days are long over :)
Photo 51 is really awesome work.
Franklin was one of the 20-century geniuses in my eyes.
Have a nice weekend
