Rosalind Franklin collects the evidence to prove the structure of DNA. Colleagues steal the evidence from her desk and are awarded the Nobel Prize for it. Esther Lederberg discovers Lambda Phage, the Fertility Factor in bacteria, and invents replica plating. Her husband wins the Nobel Prize for it. Jocelyn Bell Burnell discovers pulsars, radio signals that give us our first evidence of Neutron Stars. Her academic supervisor wins the Nobel Prize for it.

These are the invisible women of the Nobel Prize.
