Franklin’s report & Crick’s insight

1:03:37Cambridge to tell Crick about the photo that he >> saw. Right. At the same time, um, Franklin publishes an internal report, which is something that institutions do where they talk about the research that they've done over the past year, and it's an internal, um, medical research council report and King's College report that >> shows all of the that shows this photograph along with a lot of the determination that Franklin has done on the photograph cuz she has the original, right? She has that original print. So she can measure the distance between those those black spots and say that okay these things are 3.4 angstroms apart. >> Each turn of the helix is 10 nucleotides

1:04:1934 angstroms. >> Um and all of these little details. >> This is a medical research council report. Crick gets wind of this and gets a copy of it. >> Of course he does. >> Okay. All of this stuff is happening without Franklin knowing. That's the key. >> Yeah. It's not with consent, right? >> Informed consent. >> Right. Right. Okay. And especially in this world at when the stakes are as high as they are, >> it is a very >> they're working on DNA. >> They're working on the physical substrate of genetics. >> I mean, obviously they're working on a Nobel Prize level. >> Everyone knows >> everyone knows >> that this is what's happening.

1:04:59>> The treasure map. We know. >> Yeah. >> Right. And so Watson and Crick get to work. They have all of this information, >> right? They go up to Bragg and they're like "Look Bragg Lionus Powing is working on it. We have all this information. We need you to let us work on this again." >> Because in 1951, he's like, "Stop embarrassing us. >> Stop embarrassing us." Bragg does not like Powelling. >> Ah, [laughter] okay. >> I love it. It's such a human story. >> Yeah, it's such a human [laughter] story. Bragg does not like Pow. >> All right. So, he's on board. >> Okay. So, he's like, "Do what you got to

1:05:39do." >> Right. Right. >> Don't screw it up. >> This time, do not embarrass me again. I want this for Cavendish. >> Mhm. >> Okay. >> Yeah. >> This is This is ours. >> Yeah. >> You need to do it. >> So, um Watson and Crick go down to the machine shop. They're like, "Boys, we're back in business. I need you to make me little models of it so that we can
