HOMEWORK: Priority of discovery, acknowledgement of ideas, and ownership of data continue to be controversial topics in science. The story of the discovery of DNA structure is an exceptionally well-documented one, but these questions continue to be asked. From the evidence and statements of participants, consider the following statements:

    1) Watson & Crick ripped off Franklin's work, who was badly treated because she was a woman.
    2) Watson & Crick recognized base pairing, which is the key to DNA structure.
    3) The Nobel Prize is never given to more than three co-recipients, and never to persons who are deceased. That's the way it is.
    4) Whose property was Photo 51? Who was entitled to see it?
    5) Gosling: "Grad students in those days were treated like serfs."
    6) Many Grad students: "Two strands or three, bases inside or outside, and you have Chargaff's rules. How long can it take?"
    7) "She was definitely anti-helical." Franklin paraphrased: "When we do the measurements, then we'll know, we won't have to guess."
    8) Chargaff: "I showed them pairing, I wasn't properly acknowledged."
    9) Compare the 2023 timeline & summary from King's College with that by Ray Gosling in 2012.
