In February 1953, Francis Crick and James Watson walked into the Eagle pub in Cambridge after seeing Rosalind Franklin's crucial X-ray data. During a brief conversation over pints, they realized the double-helix structure of DNA—a discovery that would revolutionize our understanding of life itself. Ezra Wade examines how this casual exchange unlocked the secret of genetic inheritance, while exploring the complicated dynamics of scientific collaboration, gender bias in mid-century academia, and how breakthroughs often happen in unexpected places. This story reveals how the right information, reaching the right minds, at the right moment can change everything.
