DESCRIPTION:The discovery of the double helix structure of DNA in March 19
 53 was one of the most significant discoveries in the history of science. 
 It has since become one of the most contested\, because of Watson and Cric
 k’s use of data from Rosalind Franklin to make their discovery. However\
 , what most people know about these events\, is entirely based on Jim Wats
 on’s novelised account\, The Double Helix. In this talk I describe how t
 he structure was really discovered\, which pieces of data Watson and Crick
  used\, how the discovery was presented at the time\, and what Franklin th
 ought about it all\, using recently discovered letters and documents from 
 various archives around the world. Even if you think you know the story\, 
 you will be in for some surprises.
