Episode description
Nick and Ellie discuss the unsung heroes of DNA discovery, including Freidrich Meisner, Erwin Chargaff, and Rosalind Franklin. We also discuss the Emperor Palpatine of genetics James Watson, James Watson's terrible book, and hater of James Watson's book Francis Crick. Learn about how the structure of DNA was discovered, and the 'contemptible pack of damned nonsense' that went with it.
