Rosalind Franklin's first X-ray images of DNA revisited

Project Gutenberg has shared a paper examining the first ever X-ray images of DNA's helical structure, captured by Rosalind Franklin. The paper highlights her laboratory notes, which show she understood what the images revealed about DNA's structure well before the famous double helix announcement. Commenters are calling the paper fascinating and renewing discussion of Franklin's under-recognised contribution to one of the most important discoveries in biology.

Why now: Fresh attention on Rosalind Franklin's overlooked role in discovering DNA's structure, a recurring point of scientific and historical debate.
