Rosalind Elsie Franklin was born on the 25th July 1920 and died on the 16th of April 1958.
Which means she only lived up to the age of 37! Rosalind died of cancer. She and her family were British and Jewish.
Her job was to look at DNA - RNA - coal and graphite although she is most famous for her DNA studies.
She described DNA structure & her work mate Maurice Wilkins gave her data ( studies) to Watson & Crick without her knowing & they used the studies and got famous for discovering DNA. They also got the Nobel prize when it was meant to be Rosalind’s.
This is a great home learning challenge Adele. Good to see you organising the information into paragraphs. :)
