'''Rosalind Elsie Franklin''' (July 25, 1920 – April 16, 1958) was an English chemist and X-ray crystallographer who made high-quality X-ray diffraction images of DNA, including the famous "Photo 51". She gave a lecture at Kings about her work. She contributed to a Medical Research Council (MRC) report about her work.

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.
