This article from NOVA Newsletter features an interview with biologist Lynne Osman Elkin, a noted author on Rosalind Franklin's contributions in deciphering the structure of DNA. Many renowned scientists believe Franklin has not received equitable treatment and was overlooked for her major role in the discovery of the double-helix nature of DNA. Dr. Elkin makes an emphatic argument that Franklin deserved to share the Nobel Prize with James Watson and Francis Crick.
