Do you have a citation for reporters and scientists being de-badged and escorted out of the Asilomar conference (I'm always curious about the history of molecular biology, and this is new to me).

BTW, Watson didn't ignore Franklin- her name is listed in the W&C Nature paper as providing data. What he said in his book was much worse than ignoring her.

Yea, I'll try to find a citation. I recall it from a class I took on Bioethics two years ago with Robin Scheffler.

Very possibly this: https://books.google.com/books?id=TLHGLtwbazAC&pg=PA65&lpg=P...

which adds a ton of color, and also kind of supports the problem with overly enthusiastic science reporters publishing things irresponsibly early (covid reporting is a good example).
