She was the first scientist to figure out what DNA looks like. It looked like a double helix or twisted ladder,
Albert Einstein was not involved in determining the structure of DNA. The scientists credited with this discovery are James Watson and Francis Crick, along with contributions from Rosalind Franklin and Maurice Wilkins.
The Watson and Crick scandal was when James Watson and Francis Crick were trying to figure out the 3 dimensional structure of DNA. They came very close to discovering it when they discovered a fellow scientist named Rosalind Franklin had the data they needed. Instead of collaborating with her, Watson and Crick broke into her lab, stole her data, quickly figured out the structure, and did not give her any credit. When they won the Nobel Prize in 1962, they mentioned many names but her name was not on the list. Later, Watson openly admitted that they stole from Rosalind Franklin.
The discovery of the structure of DNA was attributed to James Watson and Francis Crick, along with their colleague Rosalind Franklin. Watson and Crick are credited with proposing the double helix structure of DNA in 1953, based on X-ray crystallography data collected by Franklin.
No, Wilkins and Franklin did not work together to produce the structure of DNA. They were both involved in the research, but worked separately on different aspects of the project.
Rosalind Franklin's work with X-ray diffraction involved exposure to high levels of radiation, which can damage DNA and increase the risk of cancer. This prolonged exposure to X-rays likely contributed to her development of cancer at an early age.

DNA was discovered in the 1860's by Johann Friedrich Miescher. Albrecht Kossel was the first to begin to sort out its structure. When we talk about the 'discovery' of DNA we are often really thinking about the work which established its detailed structure, the famous 'double helix'. This was the culmination of the work of many people, but the Nobel prize went to Francis Crick, James Watson and Maurice Wilkins. Many people also point out the contribution of Rosalind Franklin, who died before the Nobel award was made.
Benjamin Franklin is credited with discovering how to use and harness electricity through his famous kite experiment in 1752. However, the development and understanding of electricity as a scientific discipline involved contributions from many scientists and inventors over time.
Her father was Ellis Arthur Franklin,mother was Muriel Frances Waley,she was the elder daughter and second of the family of five children. Her father's uncle was Herbert Samuel (later Viscount Samuel) who was Home Secretary in 1916 and the first practising Jew to serve in the British Cabinet.[8] He was also the first High Commissioner (effectively governor) for the British Mandate of Palestine. Her aunt Helen Carolin Franklin was married to Norman de Mattos Bentwich, who was Attorney General in the British Mandate of Palestine.[9] She was active in trade union organisation and women's suffrage, and was later a member of the London County Council.[10][11] Franklin was educated at St Paul's Girls' School and North London Collegiate School[12][13] where she excelled in science, Latin[14] and sports.[15] Her family was actively involved with a Working Men's College, where Ellis Franklin, her father, taught electricity, magnetism and the history of the Great War in the evenings and later became vice principal.[16][17] Later Franklin's family helped settle Jewish refugees from Europe who had escaped the Nazis.[11]
Oswald and Avery plus Hersey and Chase were early experimenters that actually showed that DNA, not protein, was the hereditary material. Maurice Wilkins and especially Rosalind Franklin with her X-ray crystallography laid the physical ground work, but it was James Watson and Francis Crick who elucidated the structure of DNA in 1952.

What anatomical structure do mamals have that is involved in the proces of ventilation?
