The answer was of course Rosalind Franklin, the forgotten heroine of molecular biology whose contributions to the discovery of the structure of DNA were largely unrecognised during her life, but now is increasingly recognised. The pics show James Watson, Francis Crick, and Maurice Wilkins who shared the 1962 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine for discovering the double helix structure of DNA, as well as the famous Photo 51 X-ray diffraction image of DNA taken by Frankiln’s Phd student Raymond Gosling which was used by Watson and Crick to build their model.
Well done to Ajith Kartha, Jipin, Manu Manamel, Ajith Kumar, Nishanth Murukesh, Rismin and Sanju Joy who got the correct answer
