Cobb is a zoologist at the University of Manchester in England, and Comfort, of Johns Hopkins University, is a historian of science and medicine. And the rest is history.Įxcept that history is wrong, say Watson and Crick biographers Nathaniel Comfort and Matthew Cobb. Wilkins showed the image to Watson, who is said to have instantly recognized it as proof that DNA forms a double helix. What’s more, Franklin supposedly did not understand the significance of an X-ray diffraction image, taken by her graduate student, that came to be known as Photograph 51. Many people have been outraged by accounts that Watson and Crick used Franklin’s unpublished data without her knowledge or consent in making their model of DNA’s molecular structure.
