Who is a person or expert on your field that you admire?

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 Londonwhich 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 WatsonFrancis 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.

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