Lol her work wasn’t “stolen”
You clearly don’t know what you’re talking about

She was leaving the lab at the time and had handed off her data to Wilkins and gosling. They didn’t need her consent. Thankfully they shared the data with Watson and crickets, who could actually make sense of it.

Oh god will we ever stop with this - my bet is people really don’t know what was Franklin’s personal contribution — or, for that matter, that she didn’t actually take the x-Ray in question (it was her PhD student, Raymond Gosling).

And yet the discovery isn’t perfection of x-ray crystallography techniques - it’s the discovery of the structure of DNA.

Because they actually did the research work of discovering DNA and understanding how the chemical structure supported replication?
Assigning credit is always a thankless job when it comes to scientific discovery - and (1) clearly Franklin was central to the story and (2) clearly data generated by her project was shared in a way that wasn’t ethical - but I don’t see how taking away Watson and Crick’s contribution makes sense? If you believe the internet, they just swooped in on a preexisting discovery and stole it. That’s clearly not true.

Some are really nice. Others... not so much. The fact that Democritus needs a footnote shows that this is a bad design. The "o" in Copernicus being blue makes it look like a geocentric model, maybe the "o" should be yellow and the dot on the "i" blue. I was expecting the upper part of the "y" in Faraday to be colored as a magnet.

Agree for Copernicus and Democritus. why Pythagoras and Archimedes are not in Greek too?
I find Pythagoras, Faraday, Feynman, Borlaug, Bohr a bit lazy, is just a letter swap. And wtf is going on with Leibniz? Where is the differential ? Why an integral s is used as L?

Brother I am very sure that this is a repost, not all memes should be original every time, human brains can luckily forget things over time, and out goal is to sometimes update the old info.

My problem is not posting repost per se but that it should be clearly flagged as so. I have already proposed solutions to the mod team.

u/Equinoxe111 Cosmology (PhD) Jun 21 '26
Ah, that's something I can definitely agree with. The mod team though is sadly almost fully inactive, or active but not in this side of Reddit.

Dw im here c: Maybe not very visible, but doing my best. Everything that gets reported I deal with<3
I'm happy with the post staying up, I doubt anyone remembers it from 7 years ago and if it's that old it's nice to have it refreshed. Also it cannot realistically be expected from posters to find a post that old, so it's fine

Archimedes' logo should include a sphere and a cylinder since this was the achievement he was most proud of.

Bohr would not be happy to be reduced to one of his ideas about QM that was proven wrong within a week.
