00:00:01,710 --> 00:00:08,769
Rosalind was born in a powerful and wealthy family in Great Britain in 1920.

2
00:00:08,769 --> 00:00:13,369
Her parents always wanted the best for her, and she moved from one school to another following

3
00:00:13,369 --> 00:00:17,269
the steps of the most famous scientists from all over the world.

4
00:00:17,269 --> 00:00:22,269
After her studies, she dedicated most of her life researching in the genetical world.

5
00:00:22,269 --> 00:00:27,589
She died at the young age of 37 due to ovarian cancer.

6
00:00:27,589 --> 00:00:32,149
When she finished her studies, Rosalind went to King's College in London, where she studied

7
00:00:32,149 --> 00:00:36,070
with Maurice Wilkins the molecular structure of DNA.

8
00:00:36,070 --> 00:00:38,350
They discovered two types of DNA.

9
00:00:38,350 --> 00:00:44,649
As Rosalind didn't get on well with Maurice, Rosalind studied DNA type A, while Maurice

10
00:00:44,649 --> 00:00:47,210
researched on DNA type B.

11
00:00:47,210 --> 00:00:52,429
After a few months, Rosalind took the famous Photograph 51, in which we can appreciate

12
00:00:52,429 --> 00:00:56,170
the double helix of DNA, but from another point of view.

13
00:00:56,170 --> 00:01:00,119
And Rosalind kept it in a drawer.

14
00:01:00,119 --> 00:01:03,420
When Maurice saw this, he said,

15
00:01:03,420 --> 00:01:07,920
My jaw fell open and my paws began to raise.

16
00:01:07,920 --> 00:01:13,799
Wilkins stole that image and worked with James Watson, who was working on his own DNA model

17
00:01:13,799 --> 00:01:20,719
with Francis Crick at Cambridge University, and obtained all the recognition and awards.

18
00:01:20,719 --> 00:01:29,849
Wilkins with his colleague Francis Crick and James Watson received a Nobel Prize.

19
00:01:29,849 --> 00:01:32,750
The discovery was published in several scientific magazines.

20
00:01:33,370 --> 00:01:34,950
They even wrote a book about it.

21
00:01:35,489 --> 00:01:40,250
Rosalind was very invisible and never recognized as a woman who discovered the structure of DNA.

22
00:01:42,780 --> 00:01:47,719
She never got a degree because it wasn't allowed for women to study, but they didn't get a degree.

23
00:01:48,719 --> 00:01:52,920
The Second World War was in its audit point when she was studying,

24
00:01:53,180 --> 00:01:56,140
so she stopped studying and went with her cousin,

25
00:01:56,140 --> 00:02:01,780
and they both offered as volunteers to help the people while they were in air attacks.

26
00:02:03,180 --> 00:02:11,120
Morris Wilkin wrote a book in which she talked very bad about Rosalind Franklin.

27
00:02:12,319 --> 00:02:17,259
She also made research in the field of viruses and discovered its structure.

28
00:02:19,229 --> 00:02:23,889
I would like to finish my presentation with a quote from her, that is,

29
00:02:23,889 --> 00:02:30,150
all that is necessary for faith is the belief that by doing our best we shall come nearer to success

30
00:02:30,150 --> 00:02:37,969
and that success in our aims is worth attaining so basically what she's saying is to go for our

31
00:02:37,969 --> 00:02:41,849
goals in life and no and not let
