New study credits Rosalind Franklin with DNA double helix discovery
Original: Study credits Rosalind Franklin on DNA helix
A new study argues that Rosalind Franklin played a direct, decisive role in determining the structure of DNA, rather than contributing only supporting data to James Watson and Francis Crick's famous 1953 model. Commentators say the findings reinforce long-standing calls to give Franklin fuller scientific credit decades after her death.
Why now: Fresh research revisiting the history of the DNA double helix discovery has reignited debate over scientific credit for Rosalind Franklin.
