- 1New paper reexamines Rosalind Franklin's famous DNA Photograph 51●Photograph 49 is the key to understanding Rosalind Franklin’s DNA Photograph 51
A newly published history-of-science article argues that Photograph 49, another X-ray diffraction image from Rosalind Franklin's King's College work, is the key to properly understanding the famous Photograph 51 used in determining DNA's double-helix structure. The paper, appearing in a Springer history of science journal, is being discussed for reframing how credit and interpretation of Franklin's crystallography are understood.
- 2Medical Imaging and Art Meet in Exhibition "Overexposed"●Medical Imaging and Art Meet in the Exhibition “Overexposed”
The exhibition "Overexposed" brings together medical imaging and contemporary art, using scans and diagnostic technologies as artistic material. Coverage highlights how X-rays, MRIs and similar imagery, normally confined to clinical settings, are being reframed to explore the body, vulnerability and the boundaries between science and art. Commentators are weighing whether the medical gaze becomes something new when placed in a gallery context.
