Lilith,

Based upon what I know of Rosalind Franklin’s involvement in the race to determine the structure of DNA, I feel that the assertion that she should be considered the one “who actually discovered it”, rather than Crick and Watson, is unsubstantiated.

Further, that you and I can debate coherently about this undermines the proposition that she has received no recognition.

Finally, that the Nobel Prize is not awarded posthumously should neither detract from her achievements in the field nor devalue those made by the recipients.

I feel that it would be best if I not post again to this thread.
