Rosalind Franklin at 100

Born on July 25th in 1920, Rosalind Franklin is considered as one of the greatest scientists in history, and her pioneering work continues to benefit us today. Many of us may know her for her work in DNA, but on the centenary of her birth, we take a closer look at her legacy and why she’s so much more than a “wronged heroine”.
