Sir
We should be able to trust any author, whether or not a scientist, to deliver an accurate description of the past. Indeed, your final editorial of 2002 exhorts scientists to work to retain the public trust (Nature 420, 719; 200210.1038/420719a). Thus, it is even more unfortunate that Naturejobs states in the same issue (Naturejobs 3; 19/26 December 2001) that Rosalind Franklin and Maurice Wilkins worked on DNA structure at the University of Cambridge: they were famously, of course, at King's College London.
