I would highly recommend, if you haven't read it, reading my narrative non-fiction novel 'Rosalind', published in the US as 'The English Chemist', 2024, which tells the story and significance of Franklin's lost photograph 49.

(I published this article, above, in January and pitched it to Springer's Nature journal last November.)

Quote from my narrative non-fiction novel Rosalind: ‘Societies are oiled with the unpaid, unaccounted for, work of women. It is the very glue that binds us together, and yet we are blind to it; a woman’s work remains invisible.’

My article is cited in the footnote of this scientific paper on Photograph 49. It is somewhat ironic that Rosalind Franklin was also noted in the footnote of Watson and Crick's paper on the double helix in 1953, but not credited for her interpretation of Photo 51.

Me too!

Ceri, you should read 'Rosalind', it uncovers the story of Photograph 49 and its significance.

I'm disappointed this is framed as 'exciting new historical work' when I wrote about Photograph 49 extensively in January, and the discovery underpins my book Rosalind/The English Chemist.

Reposting in light of this week's Springer Nature article.

Good to see Foreign Secretary presenting the findings of the suppressed Joint Intelligence Report on ecosystem collapse to other governments. But when is it going to be shared with the rest of us? We can’t prepare for what we don’t know - it should be published in full

The sort of age where people start talking in the language of barely coded biological determinism, before your career has even peaked 😉.

Very kind, thank you. Serves me right for self pity -- even the most dedicated feminists can fall prey to it.
