That's not how I see it. W+C were on the track of the greatest discovery in 20th centy biology and were looking for clues all over the place. Wilkins was the one who showed disloyalty to his own teammate. Sharing your colleague's data with another group behind her back - despicable!

"stole Rosalind Franklin's work" has become the new orthodoxy. While she was certainly the victim of sexism from Watson, I think her colleague Wilkins was the real villain. Events 1951-53 well covered in Nature in 2023 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 An overlooked letter and an unpublished news article, both written in 1953, reveal that she was an equal player.

This is the difference between science and charlatanism. Only by honestly testing what works, and what doesn't, can we advance.
