Franklin's Notes Contradict Watson's Account of DNA Discovery
Original: James Watson Suggested Rosalind Franklin Missed the DNA Double Helix. Her Notes Say Otherwise Franklin's lab notes show
A new essay argues Rosalind Franklin's lab notes show she understood the significance of her DNA X-ray images, contradicting James Watson's long-standing suggestion that she failed to grasp the double helix structure. The claim renews debate over credit for one of science's most famous discoveries and Franklin's historical treatment.
Why now: Renewed scrutiny of scientific credit and gender bias in the DNA discovery story following the essay's publication.
