most notably Rosalind Franklin, a scientist at the University of London. Franklin’s crucial role in the discovery of DNA’s structure hinged on her expertise in X-ray crystallography ...

Despite her contribution to the discovery of DNA's helical structure, Rosalind Franklin was not named a prize winner: She had died of cancer four years earlier, at the age of 37.

The discovery of the double helix model of DNA is among the most significant scientific achievements of the last century. Many people believe all the credit belongs to Watson and Crick. It doesn’t.

Rosalind Franklin made a crucial contribution to the discovery of the double ... Watson had done before his work on DNA. During the next few years she did some of the best and most important ...

This photo enabled Watson and Crick to eclipse Pauling and Franklin in the race to discover DNA’s structure ... and certainly not as fast as he did. Armed with confirmation that the DNA helix was ...

British chemist Rosalind Franklin’s experimental work led to her famous 1952 X-ray image “Photo 51”, which helped unlock the discovery of the DNA double helix. But Francis Crick and James ...

Rosalind Franklin ... finer DNA fibers than ever before and arranged them in parallel bundles. And she studied the fibers' reactions to humid conditions. All of these allowed her to discover ...
