Rosalind Franklin

Rosalind Franklin was a chemist but mad her most contributions in the field of x-ray crystallography. This lead to the understanding of molecular structures of various substances. DNA was a main part of her research, and she discovered that there is an intertwined double helix of the atoms. She went to Newnham College, Cambridge, and studied chemistry. Still it is controversial about who invented the molecule structure because after her death two males recieved the noble prize for the intertwined double helix of DNA. But died at the age of 37 due to ovarian cancer.

The reason I choose Rosalind Franklin is because of her most successful contributions in the line of X-Ray's and DNA structures and those two fascinate me. Also I thought the controversial after her death for who would get the credit was appealing to me. But her life was interesting and that is why I choose to write about her.

When you think science what scientist comes to mind? What was this person(s) contributions and why do you admire them?

When I think of science in my mind the picture of your face always pops up. The reason i choose you is because I have learned a lot from your lessons and made me a more science developed person. Also you went to Xavier and have done other major contributions.
