Renaissance painting, meet DNA drama. This clever remix of Raphael's "School of Athens" shows Watson and Crick relegated to the sidelines while Rosalind Franklin takes the central position of wisdom (originally Plato). Franklin's X-ray crystallography was crucial for understanding DNA structure, yet Watson and Crick published first and got the Nobel, while Franklin's contribution went largely uncredited. Scientific history's greatest heist, immortalized in classical art. Justice served... 467 years too late.
