AI IMAGE - Portrait of Rosalind Franklin, 1940s, (2023). British chemist and X-ray crystallographer Rosalind Franklin (1920-1958) conducted research which was central to the understanding of the molecular structures of DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid), RNA (ribonucleic acid), viruses, coal, and graphite. Her contributions to the discovery of the structure of DNA were largely unrecognised during her lifetime. It was only in 2023 that scientists, based on new evidence, concluded that Franklin was a contributor and 'equal player' in the discovery process of DNA.
