I used "supervisor" loosely here - both Watson and Crick were hierarchically above her.

As for "bizarre ranting" - I guess you have never had anything you did credited to somebody else. Good for you (seriously), but in that case please do not comment about the emotions of others.

If you did and think this is fine - well we live in different worlds then.


The only thievery here is yours. Just as we are expected to believe that Ada Lovelace invented programming, Hedy Lamarr invented Wi-Fi, and Margaret Hamilton wrote the software for the Apollo missions all by her lonesome, we must believe this, too. None of it is true, and when this is pointed out, the response is frothing accusations of misogyny that you've so aptly demonstrated.

Well, froth away. Watson and Crick discovered the structure of DNA and appropriately credited Dr. R. E. Franklin (not "Rosy") in their paper.

It is sad to see that whenever gender comes into play, emotions are high.

It does not matter that she was a woman - should they have stolen from a man (which here is also the case) they would have been thieves as well.

Do not put completely useless gender craziness in this. We are talking about one scientist using dirty methods to hide another scientist.
