Rosalind Franklin did recognize DNA's helix in her famous image, article says
Original: How did Rosalind Franklin miss the helix in her iconic DNA image? She didn't
A Science article revisits the long-standing claim that Rosalind Franklin failed to grasp the helical structure of DNA from her famous Photo 51. It argues she did not miss the helix at all: she recognized and interpreted the double-helical structure in her X-ray diffraction image, challenging the popular narrative that her contribution was overlooked because she misunderstood her own data.
Why now: It corrects a widespread historical misconception about Franklin's role in the discovery of DNA's structure.
