The next person I will be analyzing is Rosalind Franklin. Rosalind Franklin had one of the biggest accomplishments, but was put down my list because of her difficulties. Rosalind Franklin's strongest accomplishment was Watson and Crick saw some of her unpublished data, including the beautiful "photo 51," shown to Watson by Wilkins. This X-ray diffraction picture of a DNA molecule was Watson's inspiration (the pattern was clearly a helix). Using Franklin's photograph and their own data, Watson and Crick created their famous DNA model. Franklin's contribution was not acknowledged, but after her death Crick said that her contribution had been critical. Without that data and the photo 51 the double Helix never would’ve been discovered. Another pro was, “Rosy had had evidence for a new three-dimensional form of DNA” (167). This was just another example of Rosy having information that the team

As hard as is it is today for women to succeed in the sciences, one must give kudos to those that came before us. These are the women that paved the way for today's generation of women scientists. One such woman is Rosalind Elsie Franklin, a chemist who had a great impact on the modern day field of genetics.

From humble beginnings, migrating to Winnipeg from Scotland with his family in 1919, Thomas Clement Douglas rose to become one of Canada’s most revered politicians. Initially as a Baptist Minister in Weyburn, Saskatchewan seeing the sick and the old suffer greatly under capitalism, particularly during the Great Depression, Douglas wanted to do more for them than he felt he could as a pastor.

James Watson is an extremely famous molecular biologist, zoologist and geneticist. He is best known for his co- discovery of DNA with fellow scientists Rosalind Franklin and Francis Crick.

Thomas Hunt Morgan born September 25 1866 in Lexington, Kentucky was an American geneticist, among other things such as an evolutionary biologist and embryologist. Born to Charlton Hunt Morgan and Ellen Key Howard Morgan. Even as a child, Morgan was interested in natural history, he was often found outside observing, exploring and collecting objects in the wild as well as fossils. Morgan died in December 4, 1945.

Many scientists have contributed in the biomedical science field. A scientist is one who uses the scientific method. Percy Julian is one of them; he was African-American research who opened an era of research in chemical synthesis of medicinal drugs such as cortisone, steroids and birth control .At his age, he was not allowed to enroll in high school as he was the grandson of former slaves. He applied in many universities and later he was being accepted at DePauw University in Indiana where he had taken extra classes for his higher school level topics in the evening to get him up to the academic level of his colleagues. These all were challenges for him and he graduated first in class .After the university, he started working as a chemistry

I believe that Rosalind Franklin deserved more credit than she got foe her X-ray crystallography. Watson took photo 51 from her file without ther knowledge which showed that DNA has a definite pattern and two strands. Watson and Crick used the photo for their own personal gain instead of giving Rosalind any credit they saw Rosalind as below them so they had no issue stealing her idea.

In the late 1940’s Thomas Jukes’ curiosity got the best of him, when fishermen noticed the fish near Orangetown, New York, had been growing at an increasingly high rate. Normally fisherman wouldn’t be complaining about the catch being large, but the new factory nearby was suspected to somehow have caused this dramatic change. At first Jukes believed this phenomenon was caused by exposure to an excessive amount of vitamin B12, which was seeping into the water supply from a nearby pharmaceutical laboratory. However, when Jukes teamed up with Robert Stokstad they determined that the mystery growth factor had been caused by the production and waste discharge of a new antibiotic developed in the laboratory called tetracycline. The new antibiotic was used to treat infections, thus altering the way calories were being used inside the animals bodies. The calories normally used by the immune system were now being consumed to increase bone size and muscle mass.

Gregor Johann Mendel was an abbot at the St. Thomas’ Abbey in Brno, in the modern day Czech Republic. He is credited as being the father of genetics because of his work crossbreeding pea plants in order to favor certain traits such as height, color, and pod shape. He worked in the late 1850’s to the early 1860’s. Even though farmers had been doing this similar practice for centuries, his experiments established many of the heredity rules we now refer to as Mendelian inheritance. Around this time another theory of genes was coming out from a man by the name of Sir Francis Galton. Galton is credited as the “Father of Eugenics” and is also known for the popular phrase “Nature vs Nurture”. Galton studied the upper class in Great Britain and believed came to the conclusion of their “superior genetic makeup” was

The urging of his professor led him into a life long career he loved. George wasn’t the only one experimenting with genes. His partner, Edward Tatum, and Beadle together studied the bread mold and mutations with x-rays. Together they also won the Nobel Prize in 1958.

James Watson was the founder of the DNA molecule which means that without him discovering that the scientist today wouldn’t be able to manipulate DNA . James Watson was someone open minded because when he was a kid, he would learn from his mistakes because he liked the subject science. In addition, when he was at school, he would like to listen to everyone and what they said about his mistakes he would improve and make sure that he wouldn’t make the same mistakes. During school, he would think about other people’s perspectives on the same subject they were learning in. After that, he went further with his studies and he went to the Indiana University and did really well as a student because when he was in Chicago he got a B.Sc degree in zoology

When one thinks of Drosophila melanogaster, one should think of Thomas Hunt Morgan, a Noble Prize winner for discoveries regarding the chromosome and a recipient of the Darwin Medal. Morgan was born in Lexington, Kentucky on September 25th, 1866 and was the eldest son of his family. He attended the University of Kentucky, attaining a B.S. degree in 1886, and continued onto John Hopkins University where he studied morphology, a branch of biology dealing with the structure of plants animals (University of Sheffield 2012), and physiology, or the study of how living organisms function (Merriam-Webster). Growing up, he always collected fossils, and just following his graduation from the University of Kentucky, he engaged with laboratory research involving marine life. Following his graduation from John

Frequently, when people think about a scientific breakthrough or discovery, they tend to forget about the person behind it. If you ask someone about the newest technological advancement, most people will be able to tell you about or have an opinion. But, if you ask them about the scientist or researcher behind it, their knowledge becomes severely lack luster. People forget that scientists are real people too, they have real people emotions, real people dreams, and real people problems. They are their own individuals who have developed their own characters, which turned them into the amazing scientists they became.

Lewis Henry Morgan was an American anthropologist and a principal founder of scientific anthropology. He worked during the mid to late 19th century. Morgan was born on November 21, 1818 in Aurora, New York and died on December 17, 1881 in Rochester, New York. He went to Cayuga Academy in Aurora before going to Union College from which he graduated in 1840. He then studied law in his home town of Aurora. Morgan worked as an attorney in Rochester, where he lived for most of his life. He then served on the New York State Assembly from 1861 to 1868, and the Senate from 1868 to 1869. Despite his professional career being that of an attorney, Morgan is best known for his work in anthropology. His most lasting legacies are the establishment of the

Another man who contributed greatly to the study of genetics, was an American biologist by the name of Thomas Hunt Morgan. He studied the ways that characteristics were passed from one generation of fruit flies to the next. He learned that the genes in fruit flies behaved in the same way as the genes in pea plants. He also noticed that certain genes were inherited together more often than random chance should allow.
