Rosalind Franklin was a scientist who helped discover the double helix structure of DNA. Sadly, she contracted cancer and died at the age of thirty-seven. She never won a Nobel Prize. After her death, three of her male colleagues collected the Nobel Prize instead, and only recently has her part in the research been recognised. It’s all too common that people can dedicate their whole life to one particular goal, only for it to be snatched away and someone else take the credit. If we’re not careful, it can make us bitter.
