Abstract

A. Carl Leopold's (July 1978 BioScience 28:436–440) postulate that certain aspects of the social structure of science inhibit creativity is tested by analysis of the various views of the path to the discovery of the double helical structure of DNA. Cognitive dissonance can result in serious distortions in science, including suppression of dissident scientists by personal calumny.
