She was a #physicist, #crystallographer, #pacifist & prison reformer. She was the 1st to employ Fourier spectral methods & used them to solve the structure of hexachlorobenzene in ‘31. In ‘45 she was one of the 1st 2 women elected Fellow of the Royal Society & was the 1st woman: tenured professor at UC London, president of the International Union of Crystallography & president of the British Association for the Advancement of Science.

Happy birthday Rosalind Franklin (1920 – 1958), #chemist & x-ray #crystallographer whose x-ray diffraction images were instrumental to discovering double-helix structure of #DNA, made important contributions to #carbon & #virus research, was 1 of the great scientists of the 20th century.⁠

Watson’s bio lead some to (inaccurately) joke, "What did Watson and Crick discover?" "Rosalind Franklin's notes." While it’s important that …

My linocut portrait of Rosalind Franklin (1920 – 1958), in a gradient of magenta from her shoulders up through dark blue to her hair. Her necklace is a double helix of DNA. Her brooch is the Tobacco Mosaic Virus. The pattern on her jacket is based on her publication of the structure of non-graphitizing carbon. ⁠ Behind her in shades of robin’s egg blue is an image of the famous X-ray crystallographic Photo 51, produced by her grad student Gosling and important to deducing the structure of DNA.

April 25 is #NationalDNADay so I’m sharing my portrait of Rosalind Franklin (1920 – 1958), #chemist & x-ray #crystallographer whose x-ray diffraction images were instrumental to discovering double-helix structure of #DNA, made important contributions to #carbon & #virus research, was 1 of the great scientists of the 20th century.⁠

There’s a joke amongst scientists that goes, “What did Watson & Crick discover?”
“Rosalind Franklin’s notes” 🧵

Hi :Koala: !

I am a #protein #crystallographer and an instrument #scientist at a #synchrotron. :akko_fistup:

Understanting the micromachines (aka proteins) that make life possible has been the wonderful journey of my research career :awesome:

Interests are varied from science to art. From individual behaviour to crowd behaviour. Essentially I'm fascinated by the world, nature and people. :gaysper:
