Academics find twist in tale of Rosalind Franklin, DNA and the double helix

Authors say scientist’s role was acknowledged at the time of discovery – contrary to popular narrative

#DNA #RosalindFranklin #DoubleHelix

#RosalindFranklin deserves to be remembered not as the victim of the double helix, but as an equal contributor to the solution of the structure. https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-023-01313-5

Important article that sets the record straight on Rosalind Franklin's role in the discovery of DNA as a double helix -- with significant new findings.

#Reading

The latest #SwearyHistory :
#RosalindFranklin and the sequencing of DNA -
reminded me instantly of two books that were quite eye-opening (for me, cos, y’know, it was a very long time ago that I was MUCH younger…)

#WomenOfIdeasAndWhatMenHaveDoneToThem (From Aphra Behn To Adrienne Rich) by Dale Spender 1982 - it only SEEMS like white males are the greatest achievers cos they “own” the credit for a lot of stuff others have done… and who knew e.g. English Suffragettes had to fight for the vote cos women’s right to vote had been deliberately taken away 🤔 - a bit like Roe v Wade and shit happening in the U.S. now and coming soon to a country near you … Women if Ideas has a cast of mostly white people, but at least of the female variety

and #WomenRaceAndClass by #AngelaDavis 1981 - it only SEEMS like “some” white people have helped People of Colour cos they “own” the credit for stuff a lot of People Of Colour did for themselves (and in spite of white people like Susan B Anthony) - a discussion of how class and race are mutually interdependent (before Kimberlé Crenshaw’s term “intersectionality” challenged reductionist thinking, and before I learned Indigenous peoples have been thinking holistically since forever)

anyway, if this Sweary History was printed on paper like in the olden days i would cut it out and slip it into my copy of Women of Ideas, but it isn’t, and I can’t, so guess I’ll just Toot about it
