She had some difficulties in working with male peers, notably Maurice Wilkins and [[James Watson]]. Watson referred to her as "Rosy". She left King College in late 1952 and left her scientific data to her successor. Photo 51 and some of her other work was of use to Watson and Crick in their successful effort to determine the structure of DNA. Franklin published a paper with her assistant in the same edition of ''Nature'' in which Watson and Crick published their famous paper.<ref>R.E. Franklin & R.G.

After finishing her work on DNA, Franklin led pioneering work at Birkbeck on the molecular structures of viruses.<ref name="ChemHeritage">{{cite web |title=James Watson, Francis Crick, Maurice Wilkins, and Rosalind Franklin |url=https://www.chemheritage.org/historical-profile/james-watson-francis-crick-maurice-wilkins-and-rosalind-franklin |publisher=[[Chemical Heritage Foundation]] |accessdate=1 November 2013}}</ref> Her collaborator [[Aaron Klug]] continued her research, winning the [[Nobel Prize]] in Chemistry in 1982.
