Humidity-controlled x-ray diffraction

39:39formula. >> Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. And he's not telling anyone how he does it, but he's like, I'll give you my samples just like, you know, cite me in your paper. >> Right. Right. Right. Right. Right. >> Little quid proquo. >> Yeah. Yeah. And then and and then we'll do it. So Rosen Franklin, she's incredible at X-ray crystalallography, which is taking pictures with X-rays. >> Yes. >> She builds her own camera apparatus and she starts doing humidity controlled photographs of DNA. >> Okay. >> And she actually starts creating the best pictures there are ever of DNA. >> Morris, eat your heart out. >> Mhm. [laughter] Yeah. Rosen Franklin is just incredible. Her and her PhD student, Raymond Gosling, >> Yeah. are just incredible at taking

40:19pictures of DNA. >> Ryan Gosling, no relation. >> No, no relation. Oh, maybe. I don't know. But in this case, Raymond Gosling is is learning from Rosalyn Franklin. >> So So she has an underling. >> Mhm. >> Right. And they're coming and they're just crushing. >> They're just crushing >> crushing the high quality capture. >> Yeah. >> Using X-ray crystalallography of DNA. And it's just like you It's like >> Yeah. And the personalities are crashing because Rosen Franklin is very, >> you know, she's a woman in science and at the time you got to be confrontational. >> Yeah. You got to be tough. >> You got to be tough. Maurice Wilkins is this really shy guy, >> you know, and so even personalities are crashing. >> He always got what he wanted in his life and all of a sudden this tough, you

41:00know, charismatic, you know, attitude. He doesn't know what to do. >> Exactly. Yeah. >> Okay. So that's that's the situation at King's College in London. >> Understood. >> Now let's go to Cambridge. in the Cavendish lab. >> Again, we're in 1951. >> Mhm. >> These are happening simultaneously. >> Simultaneously, simultaneously, James Watson moves there to Cavendish Lab. Okay. He had just come out of a PhD in Chicago. He had done a posttock at Copenhagen. >> Yes. >> And there in Caendish Lab, he meets Francis Crick. At the time, the Caendish Lab, the director was Lawrence Bragg. Mhm. >> Lawrence Bragg is very famous for being the youngest Nobel Prize winner of all time >> in the sciences.

41:40>> In the sciences. >> In the sciences. Right. He won in 1915 at the age of 25. That's unreal. >> Unreal physics. >> That's Yeah. >> Right. >> Physics. >> Yeah. This is a really really interesting story. Okay. So, he won it with his dad, William Bragg. William Bragg and Lawrence Bragg won it together. >> That's crazy. Okay. >> They're also the only They're only They're the only LeBron, Bronny, James. >> Yeah. To win at the same time. Neils Boore and Neils Boore's son also won,
