Rosalind Franklin was what can only be called an overlooked genius. Although she was not fully credited for the feat at the time, her work led to major breakthroughs in our understanding of DNA. In fact, she took the first X-ray photo of DNA in all of its double helix glory. By the time her former colleagues were being showered with accolades for results they made at least partially based on her findings, Franklin would not be around to see it. Sadly, it's believed that her use of X-ray equipment gave her terminal cancer, cutting her life short at age 37.Discover a plethora of topics such as Early Life in London Franklin during World War II Photo 51: The Mysteries of DNA Rivalry: The Race to Discovery Study of Viruses Late Life and Illness And much more!Explore the life of Rosalind Franklin, the brilliant scientist whose work was critical to discovering the structure of DNA.
