PS: I notified the editor of my book about this auctioned letter in spring 2023. I'm glad you took my tip to consider it @matthewcobb.bsky.social and include it in your book.

I'm currently with my son, exasperated at not feeling heard on a topic I invested much of the last seven years of my life in. As a journalist, it seems to carry more weight when advocating for the opinion of others, and I find that troubling.

What a bitter irony that, like Franklin, she did not survive to see the response to her keen insights.

Interesting article, but is it factually correct that Rosalind Franklin 'gracefully conceded' her theories were wrong? I'd argue not, especially given she'd already corrected their three-chain model pointing out the phosphates should have been on the outside. This seems to warrant a correction.

My aunt said she'd rent it from the library! Then lent it to a friend.

Another often-overlooked factor that came to light when this letter recently went to auction is that she was ousted from her laboratory amid the conflict. That was despite her invaluable data, which she understood of course.
