SuperPatz3000
They didn’t discover DNA..... they discovered the structure of DNA.

SuperPatz3000, yep, Rosalind Franklin discovered DNA

The question should be who took credit for Rosalind Franklin's discovery of DNA

Sonia, They didn't steal it. If fact they made a comment at the time that she should have been recignized but Noble Prize does not do postual awards
MrMeowMeow
Give R. Franklin the credit she deserves !!!!!

fairydusters, DNA, then called nuclein, was discovered by Johann Friedrich Miescher in the 1860s. Franklin did a great job on the X-ray crystallography that inspired Watson and Crick's structure and would have been awarded the Nobel if she had lived.

yes it was due to rosalind Franklin's interpretation of the Xrays of DNA that these men realised how it was structured!

Watson was one strange chap..
Player #9442102
Player #7106191, back then women did not get credit for any kind of discovery. Even now it's still a surprise when women get credit for something.
Player #27945889

Player #19285886

Roma Naclef
ed, or rather, if she had been credited for her contribution had Watson & co. treated her like the valued colleague she was, and simply collaborated with her. Like adults instead of frat bros.
Roma Naclef
Noisey0608, Watson bragged about breaking into her office and stealing her work in his memoirs.
