    I always remember hearing that Watson & Crick were not _really_ first...Anyone know for sure? Maybe that's just a bunch of baloney. (Maybe I should RTFA)

    Don't forget that Rosalind Franklin's work provided the vital clues that allowed DNA's structure to be determined.

    Mind you I've never trusted Jeff Goldblum, first he "steals" the discovery of DNA then it all goes wrong...
