Text me your stories or thoughts on kindness In this episode, we explore the life and legacy of Rosalind Franklin, the brilliant scientist whose groundbreaking work in X-ray crystallography paved the way for understanding DNA’s double-helix structure.

Her dedication led to the creation of “Photo 51,” a pivotal image that revealed DNA’s structure—but her contributions were overshadowed, and she was denied the recognition she deserved during her lifetime.
