Rosalind Franklin worked out DNA's helical structure first, study suggests
Original: Rosalind Franklin figured out DNA's helical structure before Watson and Crick
A new study argues that Rosalind Franklin knew DNA had a helical structure before James Watson and Francis Crick reached their famous conclusion, suggesting her role in the discovery has been understated. Commenters are revisiting the long-running debate over credit for one of biology's most celebrated breakthroughs and Franklin's historical treatment.
Why now: A fresh study revisiting who first solved DNA's double helix reignites a long-standing debate about scientific credit.
