'''Francis Crick''' (1916 - 2004) was the British [[biophysicist]] who, together with the American [[James Watson]] discovered the structure of the molecule [[DNA]]. For this discovery Crick was awarded the [[Nobel Prize]] for Medicine in 1962 with Watson and [[Maurice Wilkins]]. The exclusion of [[Rosalind Franklin]] from the prize is controversial since she did much of the [[X-ray]] crystallography work that made Crick and Watson's observations possible. The accusation of sexism often leveled at the judges is unfair however as the prize is never awarded posthumously and Franklin died, tragically, from [[cancer]] in 1958.
