Absolutely one of the most underestimated scientists in recent memory. Thanks for pointing her out!

Thank you! My biology teacher in high school always emphasized how if it weren't for Rosalind Franklin, Watson and Crick might have experienced epic failure!

Wow, that's amazing. It's too bad she had to pass on at such an early age.

Its a shame that she can't posthumously share in the Nobel Prize that was awarded to usurpers of her work.

Because of her, I often like to consider it the Franklin-Watson-Crick model.
