That famous X-ray diffraction image (Photo 51) showing the helical structure of DNA? That was Rosalind Franklin's work! The meme brilliantly captures one of science's biggest injustices using SpongeBob to show Watson, Crick, and Wilkins getting their Nobel Prize while casually setting Franklin's groundbreaking contribution on fire. Talk about academic theft! Franklin's crystallography was CRUCIAL for understanding DNA's structure, but she died before Nobel recognition and the guys took all the glory. Science history's most infamous "I made this" moment right there!
