Rosalind Franklin did see the DNA helix, new account says
Original: How did Rosalind Franklin miss the helix in her iconic DNA image? She didn't https://www.science.org/content/article/how
A new analysis revisits the long-standing claim that Rosalind Franklin failed to recognize the significance of her famous Photo 51 of DNA, concluding she did in fact understand the molecule was a helix. The piece challenges the familiar narrative that James Watson and Francis Crick alone grasped the structure while Franklin overlooked her own evidence, reigniting debate over how credit for the 1953 discovery was分配ed.
Why now: It corrects a widely repeated historical claim about who truly understood the DNA double helix, a lasting controversy over scientific credit.
