Dna Secret Photo 51 Rosalind Franklin

DNA: Secret Photo 51 Movie Paper The film opens up to a blurry image of what I would later learn was that of DNA. Rosalind Franklin was responsible for this critical image, and with the help of this photo Francis Crick, James Watson, and Maurice Wilkins earned the Nobel Prize in 1962. Watson would later write a book called “The Double Helix.” In this book, he would introduce the world to Franklin in a less than flattering manner and with no posthumous credit for her DNA discovery. Crick and Wilkins disapproved of the character defamation of Franklin and vehemently objected the publication. Many of Franklin’s peers were still alive, and described her with utmost respect. She was the best at science and math, always assumed she would be in charge of any projects or team involvements. It was noted that she graduated a year early to attend Cambridge University, due to her eagerness to assist in war effort. At Cambridge University she was introduced to X-ray crystallography, in which she would excel. She mastered the ability of calculations to reveal 3-dimensional films of the smallest molecules, and eventually the double helix in DNA. She began research on coal and created a better gas mask, a critical safety mechanism during World War II. Her research was published earning her a Ph.D.

Here she would enjoy her social life by cooking and wearing the latest fashion. Her work in science continued to develop, particularly with her X-ray crystallography work. She was extremely passionate about her work in science. Because her work relied heavily on radiation, the exposure she endured would cause a mandatory refrain from her experiments of two months. She was upset when this did occur. Gaining more and more of a reputation in her field, she was offered a job at King’s College in London from JT Randall. She loved Paris, but realized her future was to be in
