We had a huge deep dive on this particularly uh the work of Rosalyn Franklin which in part was not included in a lot of the accolades that came afterwards has since been rectified at least slightly at least slightly >> at least slightly in the modern era. Um it's a great deep dive if you haven't watched it already because that also has a great uh the science is great but the
