In this episode of the podcast "Science Unveiled," the hosts Francisca Cañulef, Roberto Ornelas and Luca Di Vicenzo, discuss the history of science and the issue of sexism in relation to the claim that James Watson and Francis Crick stole or failed to credit Rosalind Franklin's data during the race to unravel the structure of DNA. The hosts provide an overview of the key events in 1953, including the publication of Watson and Crick's model and the data-rich papers from researchers at King's College London. They highlight that Watson and Crick initially proposed an incorrect model, which Franklin quickly dismissed. The hosts explain that Watson and Crick were given another opportunity to research DNA's structure when Linus Pauling expressed interest. During this time, Watson visited King's College and was shown an X-ray photo known as "Photo 51" by Maurice Wilkins. Franklin's data, including DNA measurements, had been shared with Max Perutz at Cambridge University, who subsequently passed it to Watson and Crick. The hosts clarify that while Watson and Crick acquired Franklin's data without permission or acknowledgement, there is no evidence to suggest that their actions were motivated by sexism. They attribute their behavior to the competitive research environment of the time. The hosts emphasize the contributions of all researchers involved and shed light on the persistent challenges of sexism in the scientific community.
