__**Rosalind Franklin**__
=Biography=

Rosalind Elsie Franklin was bornin 25/7/1920, in England to Ellis & Arthur Franklin.She worked in a Laboratory in London and Paris. She Found the X ray crystallography the refined structure of coal and graphite. She defined the DNA structure, and researched the structure of viruses. She died in 16/4/1958 from ovarian cancer, at the age of 37, perhaps from the exposure of radiation from her work. She had always loved Chemistry and physics. When she was 16 years old she started to learn Chemistry, Physics and puremathematics. A lot of friends helped her and supported heralong the years, like Raymond Gooselive, Adrian Will, etc. She always liked to find out stuff and learn, so she integrated them both. However, Watson & Kirk took her report, they used the information that she discovered without her permission. Watson & Kirk published an article about the DNA and didn't give her any credit. How did you feel after you discovered that you were wrong about the DNA? When she discovered that she was wrong about the DNA, the first time, she was very disappointed that the first model is wrong because she worked a lot on the concession in the basic form of the first model. She felt a lot of Anti-Semitism directed at her. In London it was horrible, people related to her like she was lower and stupid, in addition to being both a woman and Jewish. People in Kings College were very chauvinistic. In a letter to her parents shewrote "I love Europe and Europeans more than England and the English. France is much better, here people are better and they have style."She was furious when Rendel, head of the laboratoryin Kings College, wrote and insulting letter and showed his terrible attitude towards her. He stopped her research on the structure of the DNA. He was obviously a very unpleasant man to say it gently. They didn't get along so well, so she decided not to say anything and kept to other research, hoping to get back to the DNA some day, which is exactly what happened.She researched the structure of coal and the structure of the DNA, the MTV virus which causes polio.

However, her preferred subject is the DNA. Her message to others was to Never give up, if you have the ability, even if others are holding you back, don't give up. Fight for your research, you will see, at the end, you will succeed .

=Interview= A. Well, I had always love Chemistry and physics , When I was 16 years old I started to learned Chemistry, Physics and puremathematics. 2. Q, Who helped you in the research? A. A lot of friends helped me and support me   along the years, like Raymond Gooselive, Adrian will, etc. 3. Q. Why did you decide to go into research? A.I always liked to find out stuff and learn, so I integrated them both. 4. Q Did someone ever steal findings from you? A. Watson & Kirk took my report, they used the information that I was discovered with out my   permission. Watson & Kirk published an article about the DNA and didn't give me credit!! 5. Q. How did you feel after you discovered that you were wrong about the DNA? A. I was very disappointed that the first model is wrong because I worked a lot on the concession in the basic form of the first model. 6. Q. Have you ever felt Anti-Semitism directed at you? A. Oohh yes, sure I did. In London it was horrible, people related to me like I'm lower and stupid, in addition to being both a woman and Jewish. People in Kings College were very chauvinistic. 7. Q. Where did you prefer working? A. Iwrote it in a letter to my parents that I love Europe and Europeans more than England and the English. "France is much better, here people are better and they have style." 8. Q. Were you angry at Rendel, the head of the laboratory in Kings College and his insulting letter and attitude towards you? How did you react? I was furious when he stopped my research on the structure of the DNA. He was obviously a very unpleasant man to say it gently. We didn't get along so well, so I decided not to say anything and kept to other research, hoping I'll get back to the DNA some day, which is exactly what happened. 9. Q. Which was your preferred subject of research? I researched the structure of coal and the structure of the DNA, the MTV virus which causes polio. However, my preferred subject is the DNA. 10.Q. What message do you have for further generations? Never give up, if you have the ability, however others are holding you back, don't give up. Fight for your research, you will see, at the end, you will succeed.
 * 1) Q. When did you decide to work in sciences?

Dear Teachers and lecturers, I, Professon Ada Yonat am a scientist for Ribosome structure and the way it functions. I wanted to share with you the story of a great researcher who contributed to the knowledge of the structure of the DNA. All my research is based on her discovery but most people haven't even heard of her. This isn't because she wasn't a great scientist, but rather because others stole her ideas and because of discrimination and anti-Semitism. I'm proud to speak of Dr. Rosalind Franklin who researched in the labs in England and France. She discovered the unique structure of the DNA and researched the coal molecule which gave a surge to the coal industry of today. Franklin was an intelligent and independent woman. From youth she was very interested in sciences and finished a degree in Physical Chemistry with excellence, then she completed her MA and her PHD. Her major findings were hidden for many years by Francis Kirk and James Watson. She researched virus structures, including the MTV and polio. Franklin found it difficult to work in research because she needed to prove her worth and deal with her un-supporting boss and colleagues. She was a special woman who excelled in Sports, cooking and she volunteered to supervise the bombing during the Blitz on England in World War II, which demanded moving around instead of complying with the blackout rules. Though she was never recognized for her contribution, all the researchers in her wake rely on her findings, and therefore we should carry on her name and give her the respect she deserves.
