It was none other than a photo. it was called “Photo 51,” to be exact. You may be wondering how a photo could have such a big impact. Well, let’s take it from the beginning. It all started with a young Rosalind Franklin. She grew up in London in a well-to-do family. Rosalind was very clever, but she wasn’t like other girls. at that time, not many girls studied science. Even her father was against it and suggested she become a social worker instead. But Rosalind was not having it. She was a Brainiac when it came to science and was determined to pursue it. She read books on quantum theory, subatomic energy, and group theory. And she conducted her own experiments. Her father eventually saw how passionate she was and allowed Rosalind to go after her dreams. She went on to earn her doctorate in physical chemistry from Cambridge University in 1945.
