In 1962, James Watson, Francis Crick, and Maurice Wilkins were awarded the Nobel Prize for identifying #DNA’s double-helix structure. But the award neglected to honor a young chemist whose critical research paved the way for this discovery: Rosalind Franklin. 
In her brief life, Dr. Franklin helped lay the groundwork for modern structural virology, produced one of the most famous images of DNA, and even completed a PhD on pores in graphite.
Dr. Franklin is too often remembered as a brilliant woman who fell victim to sexism, which she was, but she also merits honor as a chemist by her own right.
