As James Watson dies, let's remember Rosalind Franklin's contribution to the discovery of DNA.
What Rosalind Franklin truly contributed to the discovery of DNA’s structure

And like the original most people backing, it don't understand it, don't really believe in what they
are doing and do not care one jot what havoc it causes.
