Rosalind Franklin: Pioneer Behind DNA 🔬

**Rosalind Franklin: The Woman Behind DNA**

In the **1950s**, scientists were racing to discover the **secret of life**—the structure of **DNA**. But one name was almost forgotten in history: **Rosalind Franklin**.

Rosalind was a brilliant **chemist**. She used **X-ray photography** to take pictures of DNA. In **1952**, she captured **"Photo 51,"** the clearest image of DNA ever seen. This photo showed that DNA had a **double-helix shape**—like a twisted ladder.

But **her work was taken without her permission**. Scientists **James Watson and Francis Crick** used **her data** to build their famous **DNA model**. In **1962**, they won the **Nobel Prize**—but Rosalind received **no credit**.

She had already passed away from cancer at age **37**. But today, the world **remembers her** as the **woman who helped discover the structure of DNA**. Her work changed **science forever**.
