Rosalind Franklin, DNA Discoveries in Science and Art

[applenienie]

Amazing video. Great job.

[german18072]

i just dont like history to be turn in a movie of hollywood

[german18072]

For thousands of year people look objects fall and yet only some of them from aristoteles to newton will be remember to present a coherent hypotesis. So she was excellent in the science lab and got amazing r x d. images but she quit this field of investigation unsolving the problem.  she suported discrimination and she was a brave great woman. Nobel prize rule say noy posthoumous. further more she doesnt deserve, and is science not ego fight. beautiful art by the way.

[german18072]

@german18072 where i put suported i mean suffered.. sorry im not from an anglo parlant country

[german18072]

its amazing how the world is becoming more and more sensationalist. 1) im in the scientific world and franklin is very well known, though not studied (cause her model was wrong). 2) she was offered to sign in the publication and she refused. 3) she never presented a correct model on her own. 4) of course she was a great scientist but her work is not nearly as the level of watson and crick

[sTapleEVA]

@german18072 compleatly wrong, watson and crick would have accomplished nothing without her, she discovered dna through 2 years of mathamatical equasions and sacrificing her body/life for her work. sure she was a bitch, but the award was given away for discovering the secret of life and helping man kind go forward, not being nice. she was lied to and stolen from.

[ivanriches]

This is wonderful stuff

[rabbitwho]

Why on earth when you get a list of women's inventions and discoveries is it silly things like "wind-shield wipers"

the discovery of DNA and the invention of the first computer programming languages... never mentioned! And these things were done in a world and in fields where women were openly ridiculed and actually not allowed the same research opportunities or funds as their male counterparts!

[miguelmouta]

@rabbitwho There are lots of invention - and discoveries- made by men , wich were also ridiculed. Vanity and treachery, is not an exclusive ,sex-linked , genetic trait.

[rabbitwho]

@miguelmouta True. But it hasn't happened so often to men that the crowning achievement of their gender is so often sighted as the wind screen wiper. *shudder*

[AlexTronic777]

The "Nobel" "Peace" "Prize" is pure b u l l s h i t . It`s elitist and has nothing to do with actual peace in the world. I gave up on the whole idea the second Obama-rama got one.

[Chamelionroses]

How many women actually get a Noble Peace Prize? How many women are in the Science field compared to men? At least these days we have a little more balanced chance for all humans to become outstanding Scientists.

[stoptalking1090]

I dont think so.. If you watch the movie "race for the double helix" it says that Rosalind Franklin's supervisor Maurice Wilkins showed Watson the photograph of the DNA crystallography one week before the picture was released to the public.

Also, in the movie (probably in real life), she shot down maurice wilkin's double helix theory and wrote to him a "death of the double helix" note.

---John is stopping the motor of the world!---

[Teldumor]

She wasn't given a Nobel Prize because they don't award it posthumerously. I wrote a lengthy research paper on Franklin. She did Wilkens wrong, something commonly overlooked by most. She comes across as mean spirited and arrogant, and it seems as if her selfishness in not wanting to collaberate was what kept her from "beating" Watson and Crick. I know Watson didn't give her due credit, but time after time he had offered her his research and equal partnership.

[ZidaneDaMan10]

could you possibly send me the paper you wrote about rosalind franklin? i need some help writing my paper for my chemistry class. IT WOULD BE SO AWESOME IF YOU COULD!!

.... i know it's cheating, but you would be doing me a huge solid! PLEASE AND THANK YOU!

[sochisochi]

@Teldumor She worked in a very hostile environment

[OscarWilkins]

@Teldumor thank you.

[WwegirlRoslaind]

THATS MY NAME!!

[denisewyllie]

Thats good-I bet that makes you proud

[rephibian]

Ms. Franklin would be pleased with the artists' work.

[denisewyllie]

thank you rephibian for your positive comment

[hillbillygill99]

I saw on TV, a pbs special narrated by actress Sigourney Weaver on Rosalind Franklin , it was so interesting, she really played a big part in the discovery of DNA and the double helix, unfortunately she did not get the credit she deserved, i think after history takes a good look again, she will be recognized and the whole truth brought to light :)

[jensing127]

Great video!

Thanx for sharing something of this importance.

5 BIG stars!!

[wogsland]

There are thousands whose contributions to science go unsung. We don't do it for fame. We do it because it's interesting.

[giovanninoal]

fantastico 5 star

[pinklantana]

Very good video, and thank you for the linkls. :)

[yellowlabrador]

Your best video ever. 5 stars

[wyllieohagan]

Thank you very much indeed for that lovely friend.

This was one hard earning piece of work I can tell you.

All the best

[NiteBlogger]

I'm so glad this vid was done, so we could know of Franklin & the work artist O Hagan is doing to get awareness out there!

<b>THANK YOU</b>

[Elaina43]

I totally missed this vid until now... Thanks for sending it to me Ali - and thank YOU for posting it, O Hagan!

[leixinyi77]

Great tribute for a very brilliant and dedicated scientist, an inspiration. Thank you for making this..Anyeong!

[Oddsweb]

I just wanted to say that this is a wonderfull tribute to one amazing unsung hero of the fight against cancer of all forms. :¬D 5* :¬D

It is to honor Rosalind Franklin; her bio is titled: Dark Lady of DNA So, I am

Dark Lady of GA.

[trevorlucerostudio]

her passion was blind to the effects of the radiation used to make those terrific images. Great pioneers of XRAY technology, you have not died in vain. She would be thrilled to see that her images surfaced as Art...nice silkscreens!

[CagedSongBird]

What a great video. I had never heard of her. I'm so glad to now know of her involvement in the discovery of DNA. It's very commendable what the artists are doing. How sad that she was taken away at such a young age.

Have a wonderful day filled with smiles!

(((Hugs))) to you...
