Time Travelers With A Conscience
The temporal justice league is in session! While "lame" time travelers waste their quantum opportunities on family reunions (only to be brutally rejected), the real MVPs use their chronological superpowers to correct scientific injustices. Nothing says "I respect the space-time continuum" like traveling back to ensure Rosalind Franklin gets proper credit for her critical X-ray crystallography work that helped reveal DNA's structure. The scientific community's greatest time paradox isn't grandfather issues—it's citation issues!

The Great DNA Heist
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!

Justice For Rosalind Franklin: The Time Traveler's Mission
Time travel priorities: saving Rosalind Franklin from scientific robbery! Her X-ray crystallography work (Photo 51) was crucial for understanding DNA's double helix structure, but Watson and Crick swooped in, took credit, and won the Nobel Prize while she got a footnote. The ultimate scientific heist of the 20th century! Franklin died of ovarian cancer at 37, never knowing her work would eventually be recognized. Next time someone asks about changing history, remember the scientist whose "Well shit, thanks for letting me know" moment came decades too late.
