Rosalind Franklin’s research was crucial to discovering DNA’s double helix structure 🧬 but it was James Watson & Francis Crick who received the credit & Nobel Prize.

Unknown to Franklin, the pair saw her unpublished data & X-ray diffraction images, inspiring their model. They never acknowledged her contribution until after her death.

How many discoveries & innovations of #women do we attribute to the men who took credit for their ideas?

Sexism pushed Rosalind Franklin toward the scientific sidelines during her short life, but her work still shines on her 100th birthday

Franklin was born a century ago, and her X-ray crystallography work crucially contributed to determining the structure of DNA.

Barely been into the office for a few weeks and got jabs in both arms to prevent getting sick before Christmas.

Guess who’s rapidly developed a horrid cold.

It’s going to take some getting used to, but being here is better than being on the hellsite so far. My brain doesn’t feel like it’s full of bees yet.
