Rosalind Franklin - Forgotten Story of the Dark Lady of DNA
Rosalind Franklin was an English chemist and X-ray crystallographer whose work was central to the understanding of the molecular structures of DNA, RNA, viruses, coal, and graphite.
She was also a fiercely intelligent, kick arse feminist with a wicked sense of humour, who was not about to soften herself to be more palatable for anyone and for that, we looooove her.
However, as a woman in science during the 1950’d she experienced significant sexism and her contributions to the discovery of the structure of DNA were not recognised during her lifetime.
Our recommendations this week were:
Anatomy of a Scandal on Netflix
Tik Tok account @lukeeohalloran
TikTok account @dylanjamesmulvaney
and season 4 of Ozarks
