Photograph 49 reframes the story of Rosalind Franklin's DNA Photograph 51

Original: Photograph 49 is the key to understanding Rosalind Franklin’s DNA Photograph 51

A new historical analysis argues that Photograph 49, another X-ray diffraction image from Rosalind Franklin's lab, is essential to interpreting the famous Photograph 51 that contributed to the discovery of DNA's double helix. The paper, published in a Springer history of science journal, is drawing attention for adding nuance to how Franklin's contribution to the 1953 breakthrough is understood.

Why now: The famous Photograph 51 story is well known, so a revision of how it should be interpreted is naturally drawing interest.
