Vaguely related, am I the only one that is getting Rosalind Franklin fatigue?

I don't have anything against her, but she's become sort of symbol of signaling inclusiveness and hipness in science. Especially since her assistant Raymond Gosling also gets the same real dismissal in the story of DNA that she's reported to have received.

> her assistant Raymond Gosling

We almost never cite trainees when we talk about laboratory output. The issue with Franklin is that the work from her own laboratory was not cited appropriately.
