Rosalind Elsie Franklin ( 25 July 1920 – 16 April 1958 ) [1] was an English chemist and X-ray crystallographer who made contributions to the understanding of the molecular structures of DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid), RNA (ribonucleic acid), viruses, coal, and graphite.[2] Although her works on coal and viruses were appreciated in her lifetime, her contributions to the discovery of the structure of DNA were largely recognised posthumously.
She is one of my favorites
All information is useful. She is a heroine and a pioneer. Too bad that she had to face "jim crow" as well as religious persecution.
