"We have had an anomaly" is the best way of saying; There is no way in hell we can even begin to comprehend what has happened here.

drastic changes in speed, sudden course alteration and signal loss, it was literally numbers on a screen, hence his lack of empathy (2/2)

So they were not even watching the fucking flight in the fucking flight control center. I'm not sure what even to capitalize here.

Watson and Crick didn't discover DNA, just its double helix structure- though Rosalind Franklin's work was what proved the structure.
technoarsonist
Quick reminder that Watson and Crick souldn't be credited for the discovery of DNA. They couldn't have done it without Rosalind Franklind.

Watson and Crick posted the research as their own after Rosalind Franklin hinted the structure (which she found in her own research).

Yep, Dr. Livingstone was found in Tanzania, not Zanzibar.

To be precise, Zanzibar is an independently governed part of Tanzania. However you are right about him being found on the mainland.

Rosalind Franklin = Watson and Crick
Leonpavo
Franklin didn't discover DNA nor its structure. She simply took the photo that made it possible for W&C to figure it out. A collaborator
Aelegans
A significant source who got not credit or recognition for years because she was a woman. Watson and Crick are class A dickheads.
WhiteWolfSix
Watson is a dickhead. Crick's actually a relatively cool guy who admitted Franklins contribution. When I say Watson is a dickhead (1/2)
WhiteWolfSix
(2/2) I mean beyond the current point. My research mentor worked with him once and said some things... and stuff...
ScienceAndThingsAndStuff
Naa they're class B at best. Thomas Edison was a class A dickhead.

Watson and Crick did not discover DNA. Holla at Rosalind Franklin.

Barely, the insides of the engines were basically coated in glass.
dredmorbius
Truth. Volcanic ash is not to be messed with. Worse: it's all but invisible as you fly through it so pilots have little way of knowing.

I'm trying NOT to ignore the fact that this son of a bitch took someone's seat on a lifeboat, because he was loaded.
Ispentthelastfewyearsbuildingupanimmunitytoiocanepowder
That's what I'm talking about.
WinterIsMaybeComing
His only had 12 people in a boat made for 65. They said him and his wife paid the officers off to save themselves and their staff.
IcepickTrotsky
Duff Man, oh no!
CitizenDickbag
Uh, no he didn't. The boat he was in was launched less than half-full. He was invited into the boat by the officer (Murdoch).
tipples
The evacuation was very poorly organized- I can't blame someone, assuming they didn't physically throw another person out of the lifeboat
anglophilestymie
Wasn't he on the side where not a lot of people were currently looking and the crewmen were desperate to get anybody on the lifeboat?
CitizenDickbag
He was allowed into the boat by 1st officer Murdoch (who was allowing men all night) and the boat left half-empty anyway. Not his fault.
IcepickTrotsky
Nah, he was on this door, but he wouldn't let anyone else on, even though there was totally room.
Leonpavo
W&C didn't discover DNA, they figured out its structure. They knew it coded for genetics and what it's made of, just not how it was built
blitherypoop
Yep. It was discovered in the late 19th century, I think, but described as a useless filler.
Gwinky
What I've heard they're both quite the asshats, one of them are currently trying to use DNA to prove some races inferiority.
CarolusAnatesRex
Watson is the bigger/eugenicist asshat. Crick did some very good work afterwards.
062406
Watson was a douche. And he did very little actual work in discovering the DNA structure. If Franklin and Crick had been paired up, they
062406
would have discovered the structure much sooner.
chloramphenicolderivative
They figured out the structure after taking credit for Rosalind Franklins experiments.
Leonpavo
they didn't take credit for her experiments. Without her experiments they would have never figured it out. But without W&C (1/2)
Leonpavo
, Rosalind's experiments wouldn't have made sense. Two pieces of the same puzzle
CapnBankroll
I was looking in the comments to make sure this one was here already. Good job.
062406
They didn't know that DNA was where/how genes were encoded. Well, Watson "knew" it in that he was utterly convinced of that fact without
Leonpavo
you're right. I made this to explain some things
062406
having any supporting evidence. It wasn't until the discovery of the structure that people saw how it can be used as a storage of genes.
flowmander
common misconception, W&C didn't steal Franklin's work; her co-worker did and gave it to W&C. her co-worker was awarded the Nobel prize
IlioHae
Because prizes can't be awarded posthumously. Franklin was dead.
chemistrydoc
Watson is a fucking weasel. Fuck that douche.

Go watch "Photo 51" by PBS. Watson is still a douche. He pissed a lot of people off writing his book. Trashing Franklin's name. He is an ass
Washdaytomorrow
Totally agree. He stole my car stereo.
ladyharkness
yeah, they figured that out when they "borrowed" Rosalind Franklin's work
ilovealots
Yes! She took the x-ray structures of it, they just wrote a one-page paper on what it looked like.
mpeterma
It was a bit more complicated than that
blitherypoop
Work which killed her.
theonethatdoesntknow
Are you confusing her with Curie?
Leonpavo
inform yourself. RF wasn't on the verge of figuring it out before W&C came along and stole it; She gave them the last piece of the puzzle
chemistrydoc
She didn't give them shit. Wilkins did...and it was complete Bullshit. They were actually ordered to stop working on it before.
[deleted]

ladyharkness
second to last paragraph
Leonpavo
It was Wilkins that took Franklin's work and showed it to Watson and Crick. All three won Nobels and so would have Franklin if she was alive
ladyharkness
http://www.chemheritage.org/discover/online-resources/chemistry-in-history/themes/biomolecules/dna/watson-crick-wilkins-franklin.aspx
Leonpavo
"stolen" is the key word. They didn't steal anything. People are just buthurt because she didn't receive a Nobel prize posthumously
ladyharkness
Isn't gaining access without permission stealing? And Nobel prizes can't be given posthumously
sunnymangoes
They used the pictures without her permission, sounds like stealing to me
