SUMMARY:Rosalind Franklin: The Triumph and the Tragedy
DESCRIPTION:In 1953\, the scientific world was abuzz with the discovery of the structure of DNA by James Watson & Francis Crick\, but back then\, few were aware that it was only made possible by the painstaking work of another\, equally brilliant scientist who\, as a woman in what was still largely a man’s world\, had long struggled to be taken seriously. She would go on to make ground-breaking discoveries in the study of viruses\, until\, in 1958\, she was tragically cut down in her prime by cancer. She was just 37. Had she lived\, who knows what else she might have accomplished\, but her moving story – told here by Barry Zussman (Torridge u3a) – would become her greatest legacy\, and an inspiration for women in science everywhere. \nTo view the recording\, click here… ‘Rosalind Franklin: The Triumph & The Tragedy’\n(recordings are for personal/private use only – please do not share this link) \nTo contact us about the Science & Technology group\, click here… Get in touch
