¡¡¡¡Four people in England back in 1953, stared at Photo 51, it wasn't much£­a picture showing a black X£®But three of these people won the Nobel Prize for figuring out what the photo really showed ¨Cthe shape of DNA The discovery brought fame and fortune to scientists James Watson, Francis Crick, and Maurice Wilkins£®The fourth, the one who actually made the picture, was left out£®

¡¡¡¡Her name was Rosalind Franklin£®¡± She should have been up there,¡± says historian Mary Bowden£®¡± If her photos hadn't been there, the others couldn't have come up with the structure£®¡± One reason Franklin was missing was that she had died of cancer four years before the Nobel decision£®But now scholars doubt that Franklin was not only robbed of her life by disease but robbed of credit by her competitors

¡¡¡¡At Cambridge University in the 1950s, Watson and Click tried to make models by cutting up shapes of DNA's parts and then putting them together£®In the meantime, at King's College in London, Franklin and Wilkins shone X-rays at the molecule(·Ö×Ó)£®The rays produced patterns reflection the shape£®

¡¡¡¡But Wilkins and Franklin's relationship was a lot rockier than the celebrated teamwork of Watson and Crick, Wilkins thought Franklin was hired to be his assistant£®But the college actually employed her to take over the DNA project£®

¡¡¡¡What she did was produce X-ray pictures that told Watson and Crick that one of their early models was inside out£®And she was not shy about saying so£®That angered Watson, who attacked her in return, ¡°Mere inspection suggested that she would not easily bend£®Clearly she had to go or be put in her place£®¡±

¡¡¡¡As Franklin's competitors, Wilkins, Watson and Crick had much to gain by cutting her out of the little group of researchers, says historian Pnina Abir-Am£®In 1962 at the Nobel Prize awarding ceremony, Wilkins thanked 13 colleagues by name before he mentioned Franklin, Watson wrote his book laughing at her£®Crick wrote in 1974 that ¡°Franklin was only two steps away¡¡from the solution£®¡±

¡¡¡¡No, Franklin was the solution£®¡°She contributed more than any other player to solving the structure of DNA£®She must be considered a co-discoverer,¡± Abir-Am says£®This was backed up by Aaron Klug, who worked with Franklin and later won a Nobel Prize himself£®Once described as the ¡°Dark Lady of DNA¡±, Franklin is finally coming into the light£®

¡¡¡¡One of the best decisions you can make in your twenties is to explore£®Exploring postcollege choices looks a lot like being lost; in fact, being lost is normal and productive at this stage in life£®

¡¡¡¡In the past, people were penalized(´¦·£)for getting lost£®For example, dropping out of high school for a year to explore made colleges think you were hospitalized for mental instability£®But it's a different story today£®Right after college, you don't get dinged(½Ìѵ)for taking time off£®Most graduate and professional schools today would prefer the students who take time to go away, have different experiences, and then come back refocused£®

¡¡¡¡Why is there so much respect for exploration? Part of the reason is that there is no better way of figuring out what will make you happy£®¡°We are not very good at using our imaginations when it comes to how we'll feel in a given circumstance,¡± says Daniel Gilbert, a professor of psychology at Harvard University£®Therefore, he recommends that we test out a lot of different careers£®He admits that this method takes time, but he says it's worth it because otherwise you're likely to make a decision based on money, which does not always lead to happiness£®

¡¡¡¡What about the people who pull their life together in a tight little package by age twenty£­fou? They're the exception to the rule, according to Wayne Osgood, a professor of sociology at Pennsylvania State University£®He labels these people ¡°fast starters¡± and explains that they are only about 12 percent of the population£®Some fast starters are just plain lucky£ºthey love the first job they get after college£®The other 88 percent of us have to march through our twenties formulating(¹æ»®)a new career plan£®

¡¡¡¡The good news is that this is what most people are doing in their twenties£ºwandering, taking trips, changing jobs every year, volunteering for unpaid work while living at their parents' house, and starting businesses that fail£®All these choices are, surprisingly, right on track for making a good decision about what to do with yourself in adult life£®
