What Rosalind Franklin truly contributed to the discovery of DNA’s structure

What Rosalind Franklin truly contributed to the discovery of DNA’s structure

Nature - Franklin was no victim in how the DNA double helix was solved. An overlooked letter and an unpublished news article, both written in 1953, reveal that she was an equal player.

On March 8, 2024, the PRL-Physical Research Laboratory celebrated International Women's Day with great zeal and excitement. The highlight of the IWD celebrations was a fantastic dance drama by Ms. Piyusha and Group, which portrayed Ardhanareeshwara, that was followed by a squeal on three notable women in the nation: Mrinalini Sarabhai, (a well-known Indian classical dancer, choreographer, and founder of the Darpana Academy of Performing Arts, Ahmedabad); Savitribai Phule, (a social reformer and one of the first female teachers in India); and Bimla Buti, (a well-known plasma physicist, former senior professor and former Dean of the PRL-Physical Research Laboratory); On this occasion, a lecture on mental health was delivered by Dr. Minakshi N. Parikh, professor and head of the department of psychiatry at B. J. Medical College & Civil Hospital, Ahmedabad. On this day, PRL's Special Room for Women was also inaugurated. #InternationalWomensDay2024

Chemical engineering researcher Preeti Aghalayam has been appointed as the director-in-charge of the IIT Zanzibar campus. With this, an IIT has finally managed to appoint a non-male as Director (after 70+ yrs)! We wish @kennybpm all the best! livemint.com/news/india/pree…

Women & girls make up half of the 🌍’s population - yet, they’re often ignored in discussions on demographics, with their rights violated in population policies. On Tuesday’s #WorldPopulationDay, @UNFPA calls for urgent investment in gender equality. unfpa.org/events/world-popul…

Lucky to squeeze in a visit to the Maria Skłodowska-Curie Museum in Warsaw, the family home of Marie Curie, who was awarded a #NobelPrize in #physics (1903) & #chemistry (1911). I overheard a father trying to enthuse his young son by calling her the greatest #WomenInScience.
