| | Rosalind Franklin (1920 - 1958) |
 | | Born in July of 1920, Rosalind Franklin graduated from Cambridge University and in 1951 went to work as a research associate for John Randall at King's College. | | | A chemist by training, Franklin had made original and essential contributions to the understanding of the structure of graphite and other carbon compounds even before her appointment to King's College. | | | However, another important figure remains, without whom the discovery would not have been possible: the brilliant but short-lived Rosalind Franklin. |
