Is much
difficult for me to choose a person to admire of my area, I admire many people
but of different areas, not mine. Choose one person was complicated because I
ain't admire researchers much I just believe that what they have done is
great, and that makes my expectations for me as a future
investigator being great.
When we was in a English class, the teacher once gave us a little piece of paper, a classmate took one of them that has the name "Rosalind Franklin"written on it. I didn't know who she was so I decided to investigate her to know. Since that moment I started liking and admiring her.
She
studied the Natural Sciences Tripos at Newnham
College. Later she went to Paris as a post-doctoral researcher, at
the Laboratoire Central des Services Chimiques de l'Etat, where she became an
accomplished X-ray crystallographer. Then
she worked on X-ray diffraction
studies, at King's College London, which would
eventually facilitate the double helix theory of the DNA.Rosalind
Franklin (1920-1958) was an English
chemist and X-ray crystallographer. She
made many contributions like the
molecular structures of DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid), RNA (ribonucleic acid), viruses,
coal, and graphite.
After
finishing her work on DNA, Franklin led pioneering work at Birkbeck on the
molecular structures of viruses.
She
is best known for her work on the X-ray diffraction images of DNA while at King's College in London. This
discovery of the DNA double helix allow James
Watson, Francis Crick and Maurice Wilkins shared the Nobel Prize in Physiology
or Medicine in 1962.
I believe I
admire her because of the discoveries she made in diferent areas of sciencie
and her important contributions to it that have an effect on it
till now. I also admire her because, although her most important contribution
to science wasn't recognized at all, she went on investigating almost till she
died.
ther first thing I read of this is "she died" xdxdxDxd I love you wachi

ResponderBorrarIt's a shame, she should be recognized. She was a important scientific.

ResponderBorrarI agree with Javi! She should be recognized! :( But in school only talk about Watson and Crick :(
