Episode 6 – Rosalind Franklin: The Undiscovered Discoverer of DNA
In this episode of Great Woman Theory, our hosts and special guest Amy Bradshaw discuss the life and work of Rosalind Franklin, gifted chemist and researcher behind one of the greatest scientific discoveries of the 20th Century, the structure of DNA. Following what would have been her 100th birthday, we celebrate her life and work, … Continue reading Episode 6 – Rosalind Franklin: The Undiscovered Discoverer of DNA →
Rosalind Franklin: The Woman Who Shaped DNA
You know when you share a really great idea in a meeting, only for the guy next to you to say the same thing, only louder?
Cue the applause. “Wow, Greg, what a great and novel idea!”
It’s enough to make you want to bang your head on the desk. Our girl Rosalind Franklin knows all about others taking the credit for her work. She was the first person to identify that DNA was shaped like a double helix - an amazing achievement.
The only problem? The world at the time… didn’t really care that she was first.
This episode is a ripper, but a warning: you might want to bring your stress ball.

Science Museum mystery objects; home security camera security and Rosalind Franklin at 100

People install and use home security cameras for peace of mind. But the very behaviour of the commonly used IP home security cameras (internet-connected security cameras) could be giving away important information about your household to potential burglars. Gareth Tyson, at Queen Mary University London, has been working with researchers in China to explore how we use these home security camera systems and to look for flaws in the security of security cameras.
Last Saturday, 25th July, was a hundred years since the birth of chemist Rosalind Franklin. She is perhaps most famous for her work using X-ray crystallography which helped lead to the discovery of the double helix structure of DNA, a contribution for which she was not credited at the time. But there’s so much more to the scientific story of her life than just being the wronged woman in the DNA story, who died tragically young at the age of just 37. She pioneered work in the coal industry and on the structure of viruses, including the polio virus. And Franklin’s work has resonance today, in this era of COVID-19. Baroness Nicola Blackwood, chair of Genomics England thinks Rosalind Franklin’s legacy is something we should be very proud of today.

S1E2 -002 - Rosalind Franklin
In our second episode, we discuss the misogyny and sexism inherent to 1950’s academia as we explore the life of Rosalind Franklin -- a truly tenacious scientist whose contributions were at the heart of James Watson and Francis Crick’s Nobel Prize-winning work on DNA.

SCIENTIST & COMPUTER ENGINEER: Rosalind Franklin & Raye Montague
The final episode of season 2 features a "Dear White People" moment. Then Rita takes on Rosalind Franklin, a science pioneer whose accomplishments in life were stolen by her male colleagues. Raye Montague worked for the U.S. Navy, shattering glass ceilings as she took on racism and sexism to become the first person to ever design a ship via computer programming.

Episode 3: Rosalind Franklin - Double Helix, Double Crossed
DNA - the building block of life itself. One of the greatest scientific discoveries of biology. And its iconic double helix structure was discovered by, of course, Watson and Crick... except for the fact that it absolutely wasn't. Rosalind Franklin was a Jewish woman who, in addition to being a child prodigy, saved lives during The Blitz, housed child refugees, and took one of science's most important photographs. Join us this week on STEMs and Seeds while we explore Rosalind Franklin's life!

Rosalind Franklin vs. James Watson
In 1953, the structure of DNA was supposedly found by Francis Crick and James Watson. But did you know there were two other scientists working on the structure of DNA at the time, including a woman? Her name was Rosalind Franklin, and in this podcast, we discuss why Franklin didn't receive a Nobel prize for her work, as well as her life as a woman. We also discuss the life of James Watson and his controversial opinions.
