ALAN SIMPSON offers a few pointers on dealing with the ongoing, Trump-led destruction of the norms of a rules-based international order established post-WWII
ROSALIND Franklin was a woman scientist who played an integral role in the discovery of the structure of deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA). It was Franklin’s X-ray images that allowed James Watson and Francis Crick to decipher its double-helix shape.
Franklin died from ovarian cancer in 1958, aged just 37, and her early death as well as her gender meant she never received the recognition given to her male peers. Watson and Crick received the Nobel Prize in 1962 for their work based fundamentally on Franklin’s foundation work.
Now at last Rosalind Franklin will get some of the recognition she has long deserved when the new UK-assembled rover that will be sent to Mars in 2020 will bear her name.
