Aaron Klug, Rosalind Franklin's collaborator at Birkbeck college for the four years before her death in 1958, here clarified a potentially misleading statement Crick had made about Franklin's character and scientific method in his essay, "How to Live with a Golden Helix" (The Sciences, vol. 19, Sept. 1979, pp. 6-9), namely that she was rigid and lacked intuition. Crick and Watson have struggled on several occasions over the course of their careers to fully assess Franklin's personality and her contribution to the discovery of the DNA double helix.
