Summary of passage

Rosalind Franklin, a talented scientist, made important discoveries in DNA research. She studied chemistry at Cambridge University and learned about X-ray crystallography in France. In 1951, she joined a team at King’s College in London to study the structure of DNA. Rosalind used X-ray crystallography to capture images of DNA, including the famous Photograph 51. Despite facing challenges and not receiving proper recognition, she made significant contributions to science. Tragically, she passed away at the age of 37 due to ovarian cancer. Her work played a crucial role in the discovery of DNA’s double helix structure by James Watson and Francis Crick, who won the Nobel Prize. Rosalind’s legacy continues to inspire young scientists worldwide.
