Paper revisits Rosalind Franklin's first X-ray images of DNA
Original: RE: https:// mastodon.social/@gutenberg_org /117399288407903100 A fascinating paper, discussing the first ever X-ray ima
A newly shared paper discusses Rosalind Franklin's pioneering X-ray images of DNA's helical structure, including her famous Photograph 51 and her laboratory notes. The paper highlights the depth of Franklin's own understanding of what she had observed, long before the structure's publication was credited largely to Watson and Crick. Readers are praising it as a fascinating look at her underrecognised contribution.
Why now: Renewed attention on Rosalind Franklin's role in the discovery of DNA's structure, a topic of ongoing debate about credit in science history
