Rosalind Franklin was a chemist and X-Ray crystallographer whose work was central to understanding the molecular structure of DNA. Not only was she an incredible woman in STEM, but we dive into the ~drama~ that unfolded with her famed Photograph 51—the first ever image of DNA structure. It was supposedly stolen and used to advance the knowledge of DNA structure, and as a result 3 of her (white, male) colleagues got the Nobel Prize while she was overlooked. We dive into Rosalind's life to learn what she was really like, what work she did, and what her legacy is today.
