Jessica Mills Davies @byjessicadavies.bsky.social · 10/10/2026Quote 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.’ 000
Jessica Mills Davies @byjessicadavies.bsky.social · 10/10/2026My 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. 000

Jessica Mills Davies @byjessicadavies.bsky.social · 09/10/2026I'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. 000
Jessica Mills Davies @byjessicadavies.bsky.social · 09/10/2026The Springer article is both vindicating, but also a direct copy of my interpretation; which was missed due to a major historical bias towards Watson and Crick and their interpretation rather than Franklin's own work. (As well as mislabelling.) My focus on her work brought it to light. #photograph49 000
