[00:00:00]Inside every living cell lies a molecule that carries instructions for life, the DNA. One scientist who helped reveal the structure was Rosalind Franklin. Her work helped unlock the genetic code for modern medicine, [music] biotechnology, and genetic research.

[00:00:14]Rosalind Franklin's discoveries helped humanity understand the very blueprint of [music] life. Born in London in 1920, Franklin was an expert in x-ray crystallography, a technique used to study the structure of molecules. While studying DNA, Franklin captured an extraordinary x-ray image known as photo 51. This photograph clearly showed that DNA had a double helix structure. Her precise data became crucial evidence that helped scientists understand how genetic information is stored [music] and passed between generations. Although her contribution was not fully recognized during her lifetime, today Franklin is celebrated as a pioneer of molecular biology.
