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 An overlooked letter and an unpublished news article, both written in 1953, reveal that she was an equal player.

The most important finding of our new study is: so far, scientists have traced back at least 30,000 excess deaths per year TODAY due to the impact of climate change on heat and other disasters, malaria and dengue, and wildfire-related air pollution - a global economic loss of up to $350B USD.
