DNA Molecule Is Shaped Like A Twisted Ladder Summary

Over the next four years, Franklin joked with colleagues, went on hiking trips across western Europe, and researched (Secret of Photo 51). After her four years, she made the difficult decision to return to England and enter the scientific community there (Secret of Photo 51). She was offered a three-year research scholarship and a position in the X-ray crystallography department at King’s College, which she happily accepted (The DNA Molecule Is Shaped like a Twisted Ladder). Trouble soon arose for Franklin at King’s College, as the circumstances surrounding her hiring was laden with miscommunications. The college already had an expert X-ray crystallographer and he had taken a special interest in Franklin and suggested that she work with studying DNA’s structure. Franklin arrived while he was away, and, when he returned, he believed Franklin to be an assistant, only to discover the truth later--that she had been offered a position where she would only be working with a graduate student by the name of Raymond Gosling (The DNA Molecule Is Shaped like a Twisted Ladder). The crystallographer, Maurice Wilkins, was frustrated by this and the early errors led to high tensions between the two. Despite

There, she published seventeen papers on an assortment of viruses. She did, however, garner international recognition, and thus was invited to speak at multiple events in the United States (Secret of Photo 51). Unfortunately, halfway through her tenure at Birkbeck, it was discovered that Franklin had ovarian cancer, likely caused from her extensive work with X-rays (Rosalind Franklin). She worked despite being part of an experimental chemotherapy study and passed away in 1958 at the age of 37, having no husband, children, or credit for her groundbreaking work on DNA (Rosalind Franklin). She never knew that Watson and Crick had stolen her
