Snapshot 51

A portrait of British scientist Rosalind Franklin and her often-overlooked role in the discovery of the double helix structure of DNA. When Crick, Watson, and Wilkins received the Nobel Prize for research on this topic, the true discoverer was already dead — she died at age 37 from ovarian cancer caused by frequent radiation exposure.

The story explores how an intelligent, stubborn, and courageous woman works in a field dominated by men. History, romance, and science are equally represented in it.
