I am Rosalind Franklin's first cousin, she discovered the Single DNA Helix Structure. In her Diffraction Crystallography X-Rays work. She was in my opinion not only a pretty woman but a brillian scientist as well, she was not recognised fully in her short lifetime. 1920 -1958. Although I do realise that some may disagree with my point of views about her.I think that as a result of Maurice Wilkins having taken her work out of her lab drawer and showing her now infamous Slide 51 photo was shown to Crick and Watson, when they saw her work and the Double Helix too, but I am proud of my cousin's work and have been fascinated by her work all of my life. That is why I have chosen my board name (Rosalind DNA) in her honour. This is one of my favourite pictures of her. http://nobelprize.org/educational_games/medicine/dna_double_helix/readmore.html

I am sure it would be of much interest here. It would be fascinating to read some insights into the woman and her work.No pressure of course....just an idea should you wish to elaborate on your pride which shines so full.
