While we are on the topic of Watson and how he stole the credit from Rosamund Franklin, I think it's only fair to fess up that the guy who showed Watson the photo Franklin made was (potentially) Maurice Wilkins, a New Zealander. He possibly did so without her consent.

My vindication is that this guy, who was Banks' contemporary, also says he fucking sucked which makes me love this meme even more.

I’m in the South Island so of course, we have to make the traditional pilgrimage. This time in a category 1 historic site! The original brick building was built in 1907 to act as govt offices for the town!

Espresso High has made a Champorado hot choc! A take on a Filipino rice porridge dish. Tastes a bit like a chocolatey rice pudding with sugar on top! Very delicious!
