'Critical Thinking Blog Post #7' - Critical thinking about a Science's life and work

Rosalind Franklin was a woman who worked as a chemist and biologist in the early 20th century. She was the person who discovers and took the first model of DNA, but unfortunately did not receive any credit for her hard work. Franklin worked in a male dominated environment, in which she was described as an antisocial person. Most of the time she used to spend her time in the laboratory doing work, while her co-workers were relaxed.

Her work was unappreciated because she was very reserved with her job, and did not share any information with anybody, but this attitude did not help her at the end. Because Watson took the Nobel price and she was not given any price for the hard work she done. Her discovered with the DNA model help science and humans to understand better the way genetics work. Franklin's work can be consider part of humanities and is something that still surprise people.
