It was PCR (the DNA amplification technique) that was invented by a guy who took a lot of LSD and who credited LSD for the creative spark

There was a recent veritasium video about it

well no it was also PCR….
but still yes the structure:

Crick, who died ten days ago, aged 88, later told a fellow scientist that he often used small doses of LSD then an experimental drug used in psychotherapy to boost his powers of thought. He said it was LSD, not the Eagle’s warm beer, that helped him to unravel the structure of DNA, the discovery that won him the Nobel Prize.

Neat. More LSD for research scientists!

you’re right, the helical structure of dna was first thought up while on ayahuasca
(still a psychedelic drug so :)
