Rosalind Franklin – The Life and Work of this great experimental scientist.
Rosalind Franklin is a key figure in the greatest discovery in life science in the 20th Century – the discovery of the structure of DNA.
This discovery shaped modern biology in a profound way, creating whole new fields of research and understanding.
This talk will discuss the life and work of this great experimental scientist, the lesser known projects she worked on, and her place in scientific history.
Franklin’s name is now lent to multiple awards, organisations and institutes, one of which sits on the Harwell Campus in South Oxfordshire.
