Rosalind Franklin did recognise DNA's helix structure, historians say
Original: How did Rosalind Franklin miss the helix in her iconic DNA image? She didn't Article URL: https://www. science.org/conte
A new Science article revisits the claim that Rosalind Franklin failed to grasp the significance of Photo 51, her famous DNA diffraction image. The piece argues she did not miss the double helix at all, challenging the long-standing narrative about her role in the discovery alongside Watson and Crick. Readers are debating her historical credit and how the story of the 1953 breakthrough has been told.
Why now: It challenges a widely repeated historical account of who truly understood DNA's structure first.
