Les Fabuleuses : L'Affaire Rosalind Franklin

The discovery of the double helix structure of DNA.

The third episode is dedicated to Rosalind Franklin, a British physical chemist who was world-renowned despite her young age when she arrived in London to work on DNA in 1951. She quickly felt very alone in a very masculine scientific world.

Her colleagues, Wilkins, Crick, and Watson, had no qualms about stealing her work, which earned them the Nobel Prize in Medicine for the discovery of the double helix structure of DNA in 1962.
