watson and creek did actually decript the molecular structure of DNA which was a world changing thing and not espeically brilliant but nobel winning... Frankling did very hard work that imaged a helix structure, which was also nobel winning, and the should have won it all three. The nobel kindof sucks because it is pop-science and doesn't look at a problem as a complex teamwork but as the scientist that did the final leap.
Satyendra Bose a pioneer in quantum statistics and of Boson fame, was ignored for a Nobel but others who relied on his findings went on to win Nobel.
The same happened with J.C.Bose, Marconi took all the credit
This situation is nothing but a bunch of men trying to bring down an educated women, when she was about to get herself proved that she too (in general.. the women) had the capabilities and talent.❤as similar as men. Btw, I'm not trying to be misandry or smthng like that..... I'm just feeling bad that her efforts and hard work was never rewarded 😢

The big difference between men and women is that when it comes to acts of over all geniuses men do not need women to accomplish amazing inventions discoveries cures for diseases etc women could never have built the modern world just by themselves but men can and have done it all and have never needed the help of women and this modern feminist push for women equal rights is actually damaging to society women have a nauseating habit of vastly over rating themselves and let me give you just one example of how ruinous feminist equality is Birmingham city council has become bankrupt because of the deluded hostile rampant anti male doctrine of feminism i should know i was the union boss of the binmen who were the sacrificial lambs slaughtered on the altar of feminism that has resulted in bankruptcy and finally all women is go on about is being the equals of men yet men aspire to up there with the gods we split the atom put a man on the moon Beethoven and so much else that has benefited everyone on this planet yet we are hated and despised for doing these things resentful hateful jealousy that what lies at the heart of these sentiments the fact is she had ample opportunity to recognize what Crick and Watson saw and she failed! i often wonder why one of the greatest geniuses that ever lived never bothered with women but you will have to guess that one! ha ha
Thanks for putting light to this. Rosalind deserves more respect. There are many scientists or researchers whose contributions have been ignored or forgotten.

There is an article: Rosalind Franklin, The Dark Horse of DNA by Sara Davila Give it to Stephen Spielberg - Franklin was jewish
Another great mind who wasn't bestowed upon by the Nobel prize was Narinder Kapany. An Indian physicist who did groundbreaking work in the field of fiber optics, essentially making the internet possible. As someone who adores unsung geniuses, I would request you to make a video on him
Rest in peace Doctor Rosalind 🤲
I don't believe we Brits have fully recognised her achievement. But the USA has the Rosalind Franklin University of Medicine and Science, in North Chicago, IL. With a larger than life bronze of her.
Just like Jocelyn Bell Burnell Edit: Never mind, they did Rosalind way more dirty.
This coincidentally reminds me of the discovery of Nuclear fission where Lise Meitner also didn't get the Nobel prize either.

A much better choice for an overlooked scientist than Franklin! The problem there, as in many other cases, is that there were more than 3 people who each contributed something unique and indispensable to the discovery. She was just one of them. She was not the only one who didn't get a Nobel Prize for that discovery. The others were men.
It seems like she was close to finding it but didnt fully discover it.

Controversy is mostly about her work being shared without her consent as Watson/Crick were unlikely to discover the structure without Photo 51. Watson himself admitted to it in his book. Her research partner and other university staff unfortunately lacked the foresight to keep it from competitors by either bragging about it or trying to perhaps sabotage her.

Its so sad but this was a general trend. This happened to most women scientists because the society didn’t want educated women contributing to science which was primarily seen as fit only for men. Just imagine how much the society would have been advanced if the other half(women) was allowed education. After 1600s let's say 1-10% women were allowed in science but imagine if from 1000 AD women were encouraged to study. The thing that happened with Rosalind Franklin also happened with the Great Marie Curie. However, Curie did see herself getting recongonised within her lifetime.
extremely sad. exposes the society of degenerates she lived in,
So sad. May they receive their prize someday soon. God bless.

Nobel prize is overrated. She did her best and had her idea that’s all what mattered to her.
Did Watson cite Roslin’s work in his paper?
Heard about that Gal that showed Crick and Watson a thing or two about chemistry. Imagine that, a chemist working with a physics? Like Seaborg or someone? A lot of toe tapping, in a lot of ways, a lot of the time.
This was definitely before me2

When are you going to present the injustice perpetrated by the military establishment falsely claiming the invention of EMAIL, that was written using FORTRAN by a 14 year old boy in Newark New Jersey, who's work was accepted by the Smithsonian as the 50,000 line of code written by VA Shiva Ayyadurai, THE TRUE INVENTOR OF EMAIL.
"I learned the fact's of life, by watching the facts of Life" ... *Jim Carey* | *The Cable Guy* 😂😢😂
She was not robbed. She was very reticent about showing her work to anyone. If you don't show it you can't get a Nobel.
Not Cool.... I can relate though it's really a blessing when one does that to another... God unveils truth! Justice is being served now! You guys are awesome for sharing this story! Thank you!
Who cares not saved a single life but ended many
Yes, I believe Rosalind Franklin needs to be given the Nobel Prize posthumously. It is a horrifying story of injustice and a lack of grace by Crick and Watson.

Why should brilliant minded women be denied their brilliance and men lauded for theirs. This male orientated mindset is counter productive to the advancement of our society.
so based on this should be take the credits from edison or isac newton for there inventions and theories ?

The electron is a high-amplitude bipolar stationary wave, i.e. consisting of two diametrically opposite half-waves, which rotates (propagates) with the speed C/137 (m/s), on the circle of the electron's radius. The high-amplitude bipolar wave is born from the constructive interference of the 9 billion component waves of the electronic gamma photon, which appeared at the annihilation of the electron with the positron, after the contraction 137 times and their refraction at 360 degrees. The bipolar structure of the electron is faithfully reflected by the figure that appears on the screen of the test tube, in the Shtern-Gerlack experiment.
disgusting.
She died 5 yrs before the nobel was awarded. End of story. And besides she was unable to get the structure from the picture she was sitting on (picture that was taken by a male Masters student). She just wasnt very good.
