Raymond Gosling

DNA diffraction researcher

Also known as Ray Gosling

Who they are

Raymond Gosling was an experimental collaborator of Rosalind Franklin in the investigation of DNA by X-ray diffraction. Their joint Nature paper appeared in April 1953 alongside the Watson–Crick structural model and another experimental paper. His profile preserves the contribution of the experimenters whose evidence accompanied the model, without assigning him authorship of Watson and Crick’s paper.

He represents the experimental evidence and collaboration behind the DNA structural milestone.
