This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

You're doubling down on it? The structure was figured out after Rosalind Franklin, an absolute genius on X-ray diffraction, collected all the data that Crick and Watson used and purposefuly didn't credit. It wasn't LSD, it was their female colleague, who gave them the missing information required to infer the proper shape.

damn, you’re such a hostile tool… take the L, buddy…
Rosalind Franklin may have been integral, but crick was still taking lsd when he inferred the proper shape, and i’d bet $20 Rosalind was taking it too….
….
you’re definitely not a biologist though, fuckin liar… a real scientist would appreciate the nuance and not just try to argue bullshit side points to be right on a forum.
