Critical Thinking Blog Assignment # 7- About a Scientist Life and Work

For this post I decided to write up on Rosalind Franklin. Rosalind was a female scientist who found the design of our DNA (the double helix), that being said, to have her discover something as important as this has really helped scientist understand much more on how this structure is very vital to human genetics. She is quite inspirational not only for being a female scientist during a time when that sort of thing wasn't common and was even possibly looked down on but for the amount of effort she must have put into her work to discover something this important. It is a shame that she did not receive the recognition she deserved for her hard work (during her lifetime) and if anything depicted in the graphic novel were true it would even more upsetting to know that her hard work was all in vain. However, we as a society have become much more reasonable now and we can appreciate what she did for humanity and give her the credit she deserves for her discovery. If I had known about her earlier on during the course I would have loved to write my research paper on her because in all honesty I really find her an incredible woman and it would've been enjoyable for me to write up on her and the controversy surrounding her work.
