  • Don't get me wrong, these men were geniuses...but Rosalind Franklin and others contributed significantly...In fact, without a sneak peek at some of Rosalind's x-rays, things would have been different for at least a little while longer...

  • wow the first smart person on a youtube comment

  • @MOLBIOMAN ...thats exactly what they said, basically. they said they were lucky, they r not stupid

  • what did LSD have to. do with the discovery?

  • i think Maurice Wilkins and Rosalind Franklin contributed to this discovery just about as much as Watson and Crick did, i mean dont get me wrong but Rosalind and Wilkins were assigned it at Kings when Watson and Crick were told to stop the study after they found false information, if it wasnt for Rosalinds X-Ray pictures and study of the double helix who knows how long it would of took Watson and Crick to find that out, they theorized that it was a triple helix or not a helix at all.

  • This is somewhat helpful for my history project

  • Oswald Avery of Halifax, Nova Scotia, was the leader.

    He should have gotten the Nobel Prize.

  • Not just important in solving "structures of this kind: but in solving any problem in general. If there is no one to play the devils advocate and question you at every step in your method then the likelihood that you will go astray very large. These two men were ballers in that they did not only solve the mystery of the double helix but did so in a way that is so wonderfully human that it makes me proud to be a member of this species.

  • Crick, at least, also had chemical help. I animated a video metaphor of this I titled "Crick's Dream". It is here on YouTube.

  • Rosalind franklin, might have thought that DNA is not necessarily a genetic material but there is something other than this....... probably this led her to lag behind. Finally her thought became true!!!!!!!
