NOT JUST A 'DARK LADY' - THE LIFE OF ROSALIND FRANKLIN, by Michael Shaw

Although the name Rosalind Franklin is usually associated with her role in the discovery of the structure of DNA, in her short career she actually achieved an international reputation in two very different scientific fields. This talk will look at the various facets of Franklin's career, including some recently uncovered documents that cast new light on how she was viewed by some of her colleagues.

Dr Michael Shaw is one of our own members. He is a retired medical writer.
