    Rosalind Franklin was a chemist who made the first DNA structure in 1953. A DNA model is a model of someone's DNA. DNA stands for Deoxyribonucleic Acid.A DNA strand is used to figure out a person’s physical and mental information. There are two forms of DNA an “A” form and a “B” form. (Franklin 2015) Franklin found this out by putting a DNA fiber under a x-ray machine Franklin refined herself. Franklin and Maurice Wilkins used Franklin’s x-ray photo called photograph 51 and Wilkins published first and so he got a nobel peace prize in 1962. (Franklin 2015) Franklin was then given some of the credit and was written about in the article of the newspaper.…

    Studying DNA can be extremely tedious and overwhelming. When Francis Crick and James Watson introduced the double helix, it was easy, for scientist, to comprehend the system, but it was rather difficult to understand how the DNA genes made proteins, which is the vital part. To fully grasp this concept scientist had to not only examine DNA, but they had to study RNA as well. The dispute, however, with DNA is that it actually is an elaborate and intricate code where these codes conceal its instructions.…

    This led to hostility in their relationship, and possibly changed the course of her career. Franklin continued her research using the x-ray diffraction techniques she was taught in Paris on DNA and made tremendous discoveries using the technique. First, Rosalind discovered that there are two types of DNA and that the combination of them makes x-rays blurry. On May 2, 1952, Rosalind’s research student, Raymond Gosling, took Photo 51. Photo 51 is an x-ray of B DNA, one of the two kinds, and it became famous because of its clarity and the information about the structure of DNA it revealed to anyone with the right knowledge.…

    Because Watson and Crick were the ones who lead the research to answer the DNA problem, they were awarded credit for the discovery even though there were many other scientists who contributed their skills and findings to the discovery. After Maurice and Rosalind Franklin, another scientist at Maurice's lab, read the paper that was to be sent to Nature, they objected that a scientist in their lab, referred to as Fraser, needed to be referenced because he "had considered hydrogen-bonded bases prior to [their] work." (128) Even if a scientist did not get equal credit for a discovery, they were given credit as far as the information that they contributed goes. A big exception in the case of giving out due recognition in the history of The Double Helix is that Rosalind's contribution to the discovery was not acknowledged nearly as much as it should have been, most likely because of the fact that she was a woman and science was a boy's club at the…

    Within James Watson’s own account, “The Double Helix”, this is clearly evident. Several pages of this narrative seem only to serve as a rostrum he can spout misogyny from- mostly directed at Rosalind Franklin.4 Watson’s account also details the foul play that occurs, specifically when Maurice Wilkins shares Franklin’s x-ray pictures without her permission.5 Both of these factors make it easy to argue that Franklin deserves credit for her work, even suggesting she may have figured out the structure on her own if her data hadn't been shown to Watson. This, however, is not the argument Gibbons wishes to make. She poses a “philosophical question that has to do with conceptions of…

    She joined Jacques Mering and his team of researchers at one of the French government’s laboratories, the Central State Chemistry Laboratories. Mering was using x-ray crystallography, sometimes called x-ray diffraction, to study amorphous solids. Amorphous solids have no regular crystalline structure, for example, coal is an amorphous solid. Franklin began using x-ray diffraction to study the atomic structure of coal. Franklin became an expert in x-ray crystallography techniques. This type of work required excellent mathematical skills, which were all done by hand. She was the first scientist to see that organic chemicals have common characteristics and was able to divide them into two…
