Rosalind Franklin did not miss the helix in her DNA image
Original: How did Rosalind Franklin miss the helix in her iconic DNA image? She didn't
Rosalind Franklin's famous photograph of DNA has long been framed as evidence that she failed to grasp the double helix structure, letting Watson and Crick claim the discovery. A new article in Science pushes back on that narrative, arguing that Franklin did recognise the helical structure in her own image. The piece is renewing discussion about how Franklin's contributions were minimised and why this misreading of history has persisted.
Why now: A Science article challenging the long-standing claim that Franklin overlooked the helix is circulating widely.
