legendarywomen:Women’s History Month – Dr. Rosalind Franklin, Pioneer Molecular Biologist and Uncredited for Discovering Double Helix Structure of DNAFranklin’s Research Led to the Discovery of DNA Structure“Many people have never heard of British scientist Rosalind Franklin. Her research helped solve the mystery of the structure of DNA - the building blocks of life. In 1952, Franklin took X-Ray photographs of a molecule that showed DNA contains two strands wrapped around each other in a double helix, like a twisted ladder. The clearest image, known as photograph 51, enabled other scientists to build a model of DNA, and they received credit for it.“ -- source link
