ISEN-ASTC-L is a service of the Association of Science-Technology Centers
Incorporated, a worldwide network of science museums and related institutions.
*****************************************************************************
After reading the news about DNA being celebrated as the best discovery
since 1880 I wondered, now that it is beginning to come out more often, how
many museum exhibits feature Rosalind Franklin as one of the pioneers of
this discovery. For those museums with DNA-related exhibits, do you feature
anything about Franklin or is it mainly about Crick & Watson?
I've always wanted to know why Franklin wasn't referenced in Crick &
Watson's first papers and books on the subject. Does anyone know if they
ever addressed this issue?
