Francis Crick
Francis Crick was a British molecular biologist who, alongside James Watson, co-discovered the double helix structure of DNA, yet their achievement has been scrutinized for overshadowing the contributions of female scientists like Rosalind Franklin.
Born on Jun 08, 1916 (109 years old)
