Can some one write an easy to understand essay on Rosalind Franklin please?
Rosalind Franklin developed her interest in science at school, and by age 15 had decided to become a chemist. She had to overcome the opposition of her father, who did not want her to attend college or become a scientist; he preferred that she go into social work. After graduating from college, Rosalind Franklin stayed and worked for a while at Cambridge, then took a job in the coal industry, applying her knowledge and skill to the structure of coal. She went from that position to Paris, where she worked with Jacques Mering and developed techniques in x-ray crystallography, which was a leading-edge technique to explore the structure of the atoms in molecules. Rosalind Franklin joined the scientists at the Medical Research Unit, King’s College, when John Randall recruited her to work on the structure of DNA. DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) was originally discovered in 1898 by Johann Miescher, and it was known that it was a key to genetics. But it was not until the middle of the 20th century
