You know when you share a really great idea in a meeting, only for the guy next to you to say the same thing, only louder?
Cue the applause. “Wow, Greg, what a great and novel idea!”
It’s enough to make you want to bang your head on the desk. Our girl Rosalind Franklin knows all about others taking the credit for her work. She was the first person to identify that DNA was shaped like a double helix - an amazing achievement.
The only problem? The world at the time… didn’t really care that she was first.
This episode is a ripper, but a warning: you might want to bring your stress ball.
