Rosalind Franklin may have solved DNA's structure before Watson and Crick

Rosalind Franklin apparently understood DNA's helical structure before Francis Crick and James Watson did, according to a new study. Researchers argue her notes show she recognised the significance of her own findings, challenging the long-standing account that she was unaware of her central role. Commenters are revisiting the history of how credit for the double helix discovery was assigned.
Why now: A new study is reigniting debate over who truly deserves credit for discovering DNA's double helix.
