Abstract
I once attended a series of lectures at the Brookhaven National Laboratory delivered by James Watson. In his initial talk he spoke of the historical events that surrounded the discovery of the structure of DNA. Afterwards, there was time for one question. A person raised her hand. "Dr Watson," she asked, "I wonder if you could comment a little bit more on Rosalind Franklin's contribution to the discovery of DNA." Whereupon some in the audience applauded.
