    She completed work on coal, DNA structure, and began exploring the structure of a plant virus before her premature death in 1958. Rosalind was a brilliant chemist who pioneered the understanding of many molecular structures. Join us in celebrating her many accomplishments.

    They could not have discovered the double helix structure of DNA without her work, but they did not credit her. Instead, James Watson focused on minimizing her intelligence and criticizing her appearance, but Rosalind Franklin persisted.

    Unbeknownst to Rosalind, James Watson and Francis Crick got their hands on her unpublished research. Two weeks later, they built their now famous double helix model using her precise measurements of the unit cell of the DNA crystal and photographic evidence of a helical structure

    At the time, very little was known about the structure of DNA, but her x-ray photography of DNA changed everything. The now famous image revealed the “X” structure. In February 1953, she wrote in her notebooks that the structure of DNA had two chains.

    Her findings were extremely useful for developing equipment like gas masks for the war. She later turned this research into her doctoral thesis. Post-doc Rosalind studied X-ray diffraction technology, and she eventually applied the technology to investigating .

    After graduating with her chemistry degree, Rosalind gave up her fellowship plans. World War II was advancing, so she decided to serve as a London air raid warden and apply her knowledge to researching the physical chemistry of coal and carbon.

    Rosalind Franklin’s contributions were belittled in her lifetime because of misogynistic treatment by the male scientific establishment, but she was a brilliant chemist who pioneered the understanding of molecular structures like .🧵1/7
