“Franklin did not succeed, partly because she was working on her own without a peer with whom to swap ideas. She was also excluded from the world of informal exchanges in which Watson and Crick were immersed” Excellent read here: www.nature.com/articles/d41...
What Rosalind Franklin truly contributed to the discovery of DNA’s structure
Franklin was no victim in how the DNA double helix was solved. An overlooked letter and an unpublished news article, both written in 1953, reveal that she was an equal player.

Economic importance of investing in innovation, research & development wins Nobel prize… if only we converted theory into practice!
Nobel Prize given for showing the importance of investing in science for innovation and long-term economic growth. Basically the opposite of what the US is doing. 😭

Reactogenicity. A scientific term to describe the strength of the immune response to a vaccine. This is not the same as adverse effects and is very important to understand.
Reactogenicity is the physiological response to being vaccinated; your immune response is responding to the vaccine.
