The discovery of the structure of DNA was one of the most important scientific achievements in human history. The now-famous double helix is almost synonymous with Watson and Crick, two of the scientists who won the Nobel prize for figuring it out. But theres another name you may not know: Rosalind Franklin.

Nobel prize actually HAS BEEN awarded post-humously, three times. First two times, the laureats died a few months before receiving it, the third time (a couple years ago, despite a rule of no more post-humous Nobel prizes since 1980) the person receiving it died just a few days before announcements of winners, but the committee didn't know about it. Franklin had been dead for 4 years though, when this Nobel prize was awarded.

I was really fussed up about the fact that my biology professor never gave due to credit to her in class unlike how he always did before explaining us about any experiments or works. She wasn't given credit back then and isn't given even now. Some textbooks don't even mention her name.

people have no problem on recognising that edison stole from tesla but when it comes to franklin's case it's easier to turn things around. women have been given so little to none recognition in history, even tho there are countless that were so revolutionary in their time.

Plain-dressing, belligerent scientist my heart is pounding and I literally want to beat them up for my girl Rosalind here, you stole ALL her life achievement and you're STILL badmouthing her? Why are her clothes important? Smh I'm so pissed off.

I Think There Is No Place For Discrimination In Science Because It Always Lead To A New But Wrong Mindset To Our New Generation Or Maybe It Is Not Only About Mindset It About Anything Which Leads To Destruction.

Am I wrong to think the the three men should have their noble prize should be taken away from them and their credit for the dna should be taken away from them as well.

Oh my god. The way we learned this in school made it sound like her photo was a photo of her DNA, not a photo that she took! This was really informative!

Eventhough, we talk a lot about women empowerment today, this gender bias problem is continuing silently. atleast now she must get some recognition!

I saw a play about this in the west end London with Nicole Kidman playing Rosalind - brought me to tears. The play was called photograph 51
