#TBT honoring Rosalind Franklin (1920-1958)
🔬
Rosalind Franklin has made tremendous contributions to molecular biology, including being one of the scientists responsible for modeling human DNA. Rosalind grew up in a Jewish family in London, later going on study at Cambridge before moving to Paris to hone her skills at x-ray diffraction photography. She would become the first person to photograph DNA but her work that formed the foundations of the Watson and Crick DNA model that would earn them a Nobel Prize would not credit her.
