Is it to late to give her that noble prize? Or at least give her some credit, maybe even a legacy award for people who in their time were underestimated.
Elisa Rosales
Unfortunately it isn't awarded to those that are dead, even if they made a huge contribution to a scientific discovery, and I believe a single Noble Prize can't be awarded to more than 3 people.
Fortunately Rosalind Franklin is now starting to get the recognition she deserves. She's being mentioned in articles relating to the discovery of DNA and students are learning about her.

I think people are now talking about Watson, Crick and Franklin when DNA is discussed.
🎯🥊🇨🇦🌐
She deserve 3 noble prize
1. For the face mask
2. For the structure of DNA
3. For the structure of viruses.
But she must have stolen it from someone else. So go and find *_him_* first.
Rosalind Franklin is the reason I became interested with biochemistry in the 7th Grade. I have since moved to England, and I am studying to get into University to study Biochemistry and Genetics. Thank you for making a video about her, she deserves it. :)
There is absolutely no question that "Rosie" earned and deserved the Nobel Prize. Knowledge of her Photograph 51 was a key element in the final successful model of the structure of DNA. A blessing on you head Rosie, mozel Tov, mozel tov
? You mean Raymond Gosling's photo 51, surely? The photo the Watson and Crick didn't have access to until the month after they solved the structure.
This is a sad story =/, poor Rosalind.
No. (4 years later)
Mushroom Flow Yes. (3 days later)
As a crystallographer I'd love to see a Scishow episode on crystallography. Despite having the most nobel prizes in a single field and the youngest person every to recieve a nobel prize lots of people still have no idea what it is. Also it's such a pretty science.
All I can think of is an incapacitated Hank collecting precious gems that he buys on the internet.
Seems cool
That wasn't the end of her career. She also uncovered the structure of a virus for the first time, and her colleague in that work also received the Nobel after her death. However, he at least gave her credit.
This video made me look smart in class!!! One of my professors asked how the structure of DNA was discovered to which I immediately piped out X-ray crystallography! Booyeah!
Thank you for putting the spotlight on lesser-known scientists like Rosalind Franklin.
Times are changing. The "Watson-Crick were dicks of DNA structure" theme is mostly a sad postscript to the history of culture changing, albeit they were a bit behind their own times. I would hope that the Watson-Crick link would be discredited in Science.
The truth always comes out, eventually.
Scishow: correcting the sexist mistakes of the past and giving the great women some credit and recognition among the new generation. Good work.
My science teacher actually made his point to make us recognise the importance of not-so-well-known contributors in researches. And also pointed out Ms. Franklin was not just a contributor, like, in the test the correct answer to the "Who first deduced the structure of DNA?" had to include her, so good job Mr YY (my teacher)
She accidentally found the double-helix.
She died not knowing what she accidentally found.
Yeah, but nonetheless it was a great contribution, one worth remembering
If she didn't take the picture, Watson and Crick wouldn't have found out until much later. So yes, she's a key contributor
Andrea Cussolotto
Ethan A I do not consider a genius quite intentionally putting an exceptional amount of time and effort knowing exactly what she was doing and finding it an accident. When Watson and Crick built an incorrect physical model she instantly found major flaws. Her discovery or confirmation was no accident. If there was any accidental discovery it was Watson's.
I love Rosalind Franklin! I learned about all her contributions to science in high school when we watched an educational video. It seriously pisses me off how she isn't credited enough for her work!
I think she is definitely credited now. The fact you learnt about her in high school is an improvement on the situation when I was at school. Her name was never. mentioned then
HAPPY BIRTHDAY! ROSALIND :-)
Read both books: "The Double Helix" by Watson and "The Dark Lady of DNA" by Maddox. Awesome accounts of this historical discovery. Even in Watson's own book he expresses Franklin is the key.
How sad that we never heard of her. Well, *I* hadn't heard of her. Thanks for shining the spotlight on forgotten heroes and heroines.
"The world deserved more than 37 years of rosalind franklin", what a nice thing to say hank, awesome work, keep it up
Nikola Tesla! That would be an awesome story..
In my Biology education, the teacher barely mentioned Watson and Crick and focussed almost entirely on Rosalind Franklin. Which is great!
AWESOME woman--Strong female leaders in the sciences are SO inspiring. Thanks for sharing, SciShow, she deserves all the credit we can give.
Another hero! thanks for these Great Minds episodes. Love them all!
Archimedes! The actual inventor of calculus (though Newton didn't rip him off; his works were lost at the time of Newton.)!
Another great quote from Watson: "The best place for a woman is in someone else's lab." Great guy. He also spent time in the book deriding her mannish clothing and lack of suitable makeup.
Great Minds is my favorite scishow segment! thank you guys for your amazing work! :D
Finally! I've been waiting for this video for so long. Thanks, Scishow!
It would be great to see a video on Copernicus or Galileo.
yeah, it would
You should do a great minds episode on one of the following Native Americans: John Herrington, Mary Ross, Dr. Jani Ingram or Dr. David Burgess
Thank you for doing a video about this amazing woman.
I'm so glad you featured Rosalind Franklin! She is one of my inspirations :).
A video on Issac Newton
Would love a video on John Nash.
Thank you for talking about her! Amazing woman.
Rosalind Franklin is the coolest. Probably my favorite scientist. I wish you had also mentioned that she made other great contributions with her research like her work on the structures of the tobacco mosaic virus and the polio virus.
I love the fact that almost half of the great minds you guys chose to present are woman! Good job on not perpetuating gender stereotypes! way to go
Indeed! I am also sad for the fact that men and women diversed from each other by forces of evolution so that women were tied to producing offspring rather than getting to contribute to society in a diffrent way. And I'm also sad that when there was a chance for women to choose the way of contribution, men weren't used to it and hindered their progress.
@@Antropovich Thousands of years ago, most men didn't exactly 'contribute to society'. They were tied to farming or hunting for the mother and offspring.
i get called sexist a lot because i believe in sexual dimorphism and that civilization was built and is maintained by men, but Rosalind Franklin is, in my opinion, one of the most important humans of all time. it's too bad she got cheated out of everything she did and that Watson was such an asshole
ORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORA If civilization was built by men, they did it because of their innate superiority over women in capacity for the job. In reality, they did it because they are physically stronger than women, and subjugated women into "their place". Partially at fault additionally was the lack of reliable contraceptives, and a high infant mortality rate. Women were pregnant all the time, and our population was low.
As for the maintenance of civilization, of course it's still mostly men. Women have only been liberated and allowed to enter the more advanced fields (in any significant numbers) for about 60 years. Who knows what our civilization will look like in another 60 years.
Agreed though, that Franklin was incredible.
+DJ Grumbles Actually, I doubt that civilization was built by men very much. As I reckon most people who actually study history professionally do.
ORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORA Nice name
But if men built civilisation what did women do?
Learn something EVERYDAY ... THANKS Scishow!!!
Awesome show, thank you
In honor of Women's History Month, how about one on Barbara McClintock and her work that led her to discover the process of transposition?
Michael Faraday (if I spelled that right)
You did
Thank you Hank Green! You're making my BIO 101 understandable! Thank God for you and your mind!!!! Keep up your greatness, the world needs you!!!!
Since taking Biology my sophomore year I've always looked up to Franklin's independence and immense courage. It makes me happy to know there are others who know how important her research was to the discovery of the DNA structure. It's sad not many people know how important she was.
More of these need to be done, and do Bill Gates or some people that are still alive today :)
Like Stephen Hawking.
Oh well
I'm so glad you make these!
Who?
Another fine episode!
You should do Lev Landau for one of these episodes. One of the greatest Physicists of all time and only really known by Physicists.
This made me so happy to watch!
Great stuff. I gave a lunch and learn work on molecular biology at work and spent about 5 minutes talking about Franklin and X-ray Crystallography and how her untimely death likely cheated her of the Nobel Prize for discovering the structure of DNA.
It also cheated the world of a great scientist. She did important work after her research on DNA.
Thank you for this video. =) Everyone should know who Rosalind Franklin is and her contributions to science.
Thank you so much.
Thanks you for featuring her! I usually tell my students about her contribution and highlight the injustice of her not getting any credit at all.
Whenever I see Watson and/or Crick mentioned in a textbook, I cross it out with red ink and write Rosalind Franklin on top of it.
Thank you for doing an episode for her Hank. I always thought she deserved more. Also I think her colleagues put her down way too much. Anyway she was pretty awesome!
Oh, how I have been waiting for this.
I love Rosalind
Do one about : Anthoni van leeuwenhoek( the inventor the microscope) It would be great to see something about one of the most important inventors!
Absolute Genius 🙏
Thank you for making this video. For this hugely under-appreciated great lady who contributed a whole lot to modern biology. It was unfortunate she didn't receive the Nobel Prize although she deserves it.
Do a video on Andrea Mia Ghez. She is the one who first found black holes at the center of the milky way galaxy thus opening the door to a new research in galaxy formation.
I love it when I have never heard of the person! Great choosing!
Dude please make more episodes of great minds.
Awesome video
I remember reading about her in my bio book in my first year at college, it was my very first time to hear her name. I felt sorry that what she did was only mentioned in a small box, where most students won't even bother to read! my teacher at school never mentioned her when we studied the DNA.
She really does deserve more attention!
Btw, thanks for the video I have a genetics exam this Saturday, so this kinda came in time :P
thank you for this great video. i'd love to know more about marie curie in a later episode.
Thank you
Exactly like that, I've seen that video before. Good times.
There is a good movie from the 80s with a very young Jeff Goldblum picturing the events around the discovery of the DNA-structure. It's called "Life Story" (also "Double Helix" or "The Race for the Double Helix").
It was a film made by the BBC science department in fact. With some other great actors as well as Goldblum.
The director went on to make Hollywood films, including The Bodyguard with Kevin Costner and Whitney Houston.
I once went to a lunch party with one of the other actors in that film, who played a scientist called Max Perutz. I remember his telling me that Goldblum was incredibly eccentric and had a disconcerting technique of reading aloud from a PG Wodehouse novel just before a take and then throwing the book away when the director called "Action!"
Thank you for doing an episode on Franklin - I knew she was involved in discovering the structure of DNA, but I didn't know how and it was interesting to hear more about her work. Please do more episodes on women scientists - it's really inspiring and encouraging for women like myself who have ambitions of establishing careers in science, but are still told that it is a 'male subject' :)
Thanks for the episode. I am sorry to say I had never heard of her before.
100% agreed. Good analogy ;)
I think that you should talk about Clodomiro Picado. He was an absolute genius!
Yes!! Exactly!!
Hey hank! My boyfriend and I recently got diagnosed with hashimoto diseases (oddly enough while we're living abroad in Germany). With what little research I've done on Me. Hashimoto, I've learned that he also was "diagnosed" in Germany too! Maybe do a great minds about him? Orrrr, hashimoto disease in general?! Anyway, love the show! Keep on keepin' on!
Great video. Would like to see a great minds video on Alexander Graham Bell
Thank you so much for sharing this. she really did deserve more attention. And it's also helpful when oh so many people tell me women did not help science until maybe the last 50 years. so thank you.
by the way, I stumbled upon this on wikipedia, about Raymond Gosling who worked with Rosalyn Franklin "He described himself as "a slave in chains" when working for Rosalind Franklin, having previously worked for Maurice Wilkins, on DNA"
Make a video about Srinivasa Ramanujam☺.He is one of the greatest mathematician of all time
In my high school Biology class we learned about Franklin before Watson and Crick. My teacher actually hated Watson and Crick but I think he had the right idea essentially giving Franklin the credit because she's the one that actually made the discovery.
❤
I watched 30 sci show episodes in the past hour. That's enough sci show for today...
Yes, yes, yes. A thousand time; Yes!
True. I had honestly never considered that before.
We actually learned about Rosalind Franklin in biology class this year as well as Watson and Crick; our teacher taught us a bit of what is in this video.
Happy Birthday, Rosalind Franklin!
Rosalind Franklin deserves a noble prize for her amazing work.
She does. But they don't give it to dead poeople
Scishow, thank you always for the good food for thought...
I have a request: Please spotlight Philo T. Farnsworth in your Great Minds series. Philo is seriously underappreciated by the world...
You guys should do a Great Minds on Zephram Cochrane or one on Tobias Fleming Shaw and Wallace Fujikawa.
yeah!
Most schools highlight this fact, I think. Whenever Watson and Crick are discussed, there's usually an emphasis on Franklin as well (usually also discussing how they screwed her over). At least, this is true of the schools in my area.
I'd love to see a video detailing Carl Sagans scientific career as he was a brilliant scientist and man. At the moment, I've been reading through a few of his literary masterpieces and this would help me to understand further of what he had accomplished.
Happy 93rd birthday, Rosalind Franklin (and good on Google for commemorating her)!
Here is another person you should do a story on: Cecelia Payne-Gapsochkin - discovered the hugely important fact that stars are made of helium and hydrogen. Studied at Cambridge 20 years before Rosalind Franklin, but they wouldn't give her a degree at first because she was female. Went on to be the chair of Astronomy Dept at Harvard, but is pretty much unknown
At my old school in Cambridgeshire they have a lab named after Rosalind Franklin. I'm proud or my old school for recognising such an unlucky but awesome person.
Rosalind Franklin worked hard for x-ray diffraction. Without her photo-51, other so called genius people can't discover the real structure of DNA molecules. I personally possess a great respect for her efforts.
same of mine! she said it was part of her life's work to tell everyone of rosalind franklin's work
A++ video
Happy Birthday
Cool!
Respecting Ms. Franklin
Probably been asked for before, but could you do an episode on Carl Sagan? That would be awesome!
There's a play called Photograph 51 about Rosalind Franklin.
It's pretty fascinating.
I totally knew about her! We watched the DNA movie Double Helix? and studied her in biology class in high school. I've been waiting for you to do a video about her!
Most people who know anything about biology know about her and her contribution to DNA. Two genuinely unsung contributors to the study of DNA would be Oswald Avery and Erwin Chargaff.
Happy Birthday Rosalind Franklin
Thank you for doing this segment on one of my personal heroines. (:
