Post 5: An expert in my field

 Hi everyone!

In this post I would like to talk about a scientific that I admire so much, and she is Rosalind Franklin. 

Rosalind Franklin was a British quemist who was born in 1920 in London. She worked hard to make known the images of DNA and RNA to understand their molecular structures, getting in 1951 a "photografy" of DNA with a clarity that no one had obtained until that date. Unfortunately, she and her scientific job was unnoticed by the scientist of that time because she was a woman, and the sexism was evident. Watson and Crick, other two scientific coallegues of her and also interested in the molecular structures of DNA, saw the images that she obtained of DNA, and they used her work to published a proposal for the structure of DNA in a paper in the Nature science magazine a couple of months after Rosalind took the DNA photografy. 

The publication of Watson and Crick led them to win the Nobel Prize of Physiology or Medicine in 1962, absolutely forgetting and leaving in silence the name of Rosalind Franklin.

I like and admire her because she challenge his father to study a scientific career, being after that one of the best reasercher of that time, and she did one of the biggest discoveries in the scientific field. She was an iconic woman that was silenced and used by her male collegues and the patriarchy of that time, but even that, she and her work will be remembered forever.
