Show Notes

NEW SEGMENT OF THE PODCAST!

Heather is trying out a new segment for the podcast where she shares an abbreviated life story of a fellow nerd in history.

This first historical nerd is Rosalind Franklin whose work on DNA was overshadowed (and perhaps exploited) by two men named James Watson & Francis Crick.
