alt Hacker NewsI believe that Rosalind Franklin didn't take the photo in question. My understanding is that it was done by her grad student, Raymond Gosling.
Certainly if we're arguing about giving credit where it's due, we should mention his name. Perhaps even put it in the headline?

Ah yes, this is why we all know the name of the person who proposed the original iPhone project! And also why the name of the researcher who first thought of GPTs is on everyone's mind (and why nobody can remember the name of the laboratory where the work was done)!
And it's why whenever we invent something on our employer's dime, the patent doesn't bother to mention the people who took the risk of supporting the invention.
Good catch.
