Best Answer

The Watson and Crick scandal was when James Watson and Francis Crick were trying to figure out the 3 dimensional structure of DNA. They came very close to discovering it when they discovered a fellow scientist named Rosalind Franklin had the data they needed. Instead of collaborating with her, Watson and Crick broke into her lab, stole her data, quickly figured out the structure, and did not give her any credit. When they won the Nobel Prize in 1962, they mentioned many names but her name was not on the list. Later, Watson openly admitted that they stole from Rosalind Franklin.
