Oct 3, 1946: #RosalindFranklin defended her PhD on coal chemistry. That path led to #Photo51—the image that revealed DNA’s double helix. A hidden spark that unlocked life’s blueprint.

In the early 1950s, scientist #RosalindFranklin used X-ray crystallography to study DNA. Her images - especially the famous "Photo 51"-revealed a clear, repeating pattern that pointed to #DNA

📷 Photo 51 — the image that changed the course of science.

Taken by British chemist and crystallographer #RosalindFranklin (born on this day in 1920) and Raymond Gosling, this X-ray diffraction image of DNA was the key to unlocking the double helix structure.

Rosalind Franklin’s research was the key to unlocking the structure of DNA, but history nearly erased her contributions.

Her pioneering X-ray diffraction images laid the foundation for one of the greatest discoveries in science. 🔬

🧬 Wusstest du, dass die Struktur der DNA 1953 veröffentlicht wurde, aber Rosalind Franklin, deren Röntgenbilder entscheidend waren, zunächst kaum Anerkennung fand?

Ich möchte gerne heute mal sagen, dass ich erleichtert bin, dass #ExoMars nicht mehr von #Roscosmos abhängig ist. Wäre aber trotzdem schön, wenn #RosalindFranklin es noch zum #Mars schafft, bevor #TGO schlapp macht. #ESA

15/ We remember Rosalind Franklin not just as the “woman behind Photo 51”—
But as a brilliant, independent scientist who changed biology forever.
Her story is science.
And justice.
And courage.

🗓️ Efeméride: 25 de julio de 1920.

🧬 Nace Rosalind Franklin, química británica clave en el descubrimiento de la estructura del ADN. Su famosa “Fotografía 51” fue esencial para desvelar la doble hélice.

What's even more cool? I name every computer in the lab after famous scientists....I didn't realize until AFTER we started our DNA Sequencing reaction-but how appropriate that we choose THIS computer! @nysmtp.bsky.social @stanys.bsky.social @dnalc.bsky.social #RosalindFranklin

#JamesWatson & #FrancisCrick claimed to have determined the double helix structure of #DNA #OnThisDay in 1953 but they stole the work of #RosalindFranklin; today, #DNAtesting is a very useful & very problematic tool, per this blog post:

Brilliantly, diligently,
Rosalind Franklin:
Her crystallographic skills,
Insights display;
Her expertise, honed
In X-ray diffraction:
Unwinds major mystery,
Reveals DNA.

🧬🧬 Happy DNA Day 🧬🧬 ! Today, the Biodiversity Genomics Lab @sgn.one is celebrating the fascinating world of #DNA and the amazing scientists #JamesWatson, #FrancisCrick, #MauriceWilkins, #RosalindFranklin who unraveled its 🧬 structure! The picture shows the precipitated DNA of a 🐬 using alcohol&salt.

So we'll leave that to the scientists! But it seems a breakthrough may be coming soon!

I'm unbelievably excited but also feeling a little emotional about being asked to speak on Monday at a MET Talk at my old secondary school Alleyn's, just a week after #InternationalWomensDay and #ScienceWeek. We will be discussing the life and work of pioneering science heroine #RosalindFranklin.

🧬 The shape of this emoji (and of real DNA) is called the double helix. You can thank Rosalind Franklin for that discovery. 🧵⬇️ (1/5)
