SSS Fight 9: DNA

 

On this month’s Science Sparring Society we bring you the fight over who will find, and who will be credited for finding, the double helix. With multiple teams battling to be the first over the finish line, and one team that really does not get along very well, a certain amount of conflict was to be expected. What was not, was the much later battle over who actually deserved the credit for the discovery.

SSS Fight 8: Adams Vs. Le Verrier

On this month’s Science Sparring Society we bring to you a battle as a big as a planet, oops a fight over a planet. Neptune was first discovered by Johann Galle and Heinrich d’Arrest based on predictions by Urbain Le Verrier, but the English could not deal with the Germans and the French getting credit so they put forth their own champion John Couch Adams to try to grab some of the credit.
