Rosalind Franklin, British chemist
Rosalind Franklin (1920-1958), British chemist and X-ray crystallographer, holding a model of DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid). Franklins high quality X-ray crystallography images of DNA were crucial in the discovery of the structure of the molecule by James Watson and Francis Crick. They showed that the molecule was a double helix with a sugar-phosphate backbone on the outside. The Nobel Prize for the discovery of DNAs structure was awarded to Crick, Watson and Maurice Wilkins (Franklins colleague at Kings College) after Franklins death from ovarian cancer, and so she was ineligible for the award

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Rosalind Franklin, a brilliant British chemist and X-ray crystallographer. In the image, she is seen holding a model of DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid), the molecule that holds the key to life's genetic code. Franklin's groundbreaking work in X-ray crystallography played an instrumental role in unraveling the structure of DNA. Her high-resolution images provided crucial evidence for James Watson and Francis Crick to propose that DNA exists as a double helix with a sugar-phosphate backbone on its outer edges. This discovery revolutionized our understanding of genetics and laid the foundation for modern molecular biology. Despite her pivotal contributions, Rosalind Franklin tragically passed away from ovarian cancer before her remarkable achievements could be fully recognized. The Nobel Prize for discovering DNAs structure was awarded to Watson, Crick, and Maurice Wilkins - Franklins colleague at Kings College - posthumously excluding her from this prestigious accolade. This poignant photograph not only commemorates Franklins immense scientific legacy but also serves as a reminder of the gender inequalities prevalent during her time. Her brilliance shines through as she stands proudly with the model representing one of humanity's greatest discoveries. Science Photo Library has beautifully captured this historical moment, immortalizing Rosalind Franklin as an inspirational figure whose contributions continue to shape our understanding of life itself.
