Excellent rebuke of Watson's biased portrayal of R. Franklin
Shows how James Watson's harsh opinions of Rosalind Franklin (published in his best selling autobiography) were based on his expectation of women to be demure. Also explains the history of early DNA research, some details of Xray crystallography, the importance of meticulous data collection to the experimental craft which was mastered by R. Franklin.
