Showing results for "Searching for Franklin" in Biological Sciences

In this brilliant portrait of the oceans' unlikely hero, H. Bruce Franklin shows how menhaden have shaped America's national-and natural-history, and why reckless overfishing now threatens their place in both. Since Native Americans began using menhaden as fertilizer, this amazing fish has greased the wheels of U.S. agriculture and industry.

This year marks 100 years since the birth of the remarkable Rosalind Franklin, born on the 25th July 1920. Her distinguished career in crystallography not only led to understanding the structure of DNA, but also advanced studies on coal and carbon as well as the structure of viruses. This centenary series from the Rosalind Franklin Institute, hosted by science journalist Izzie Clarke, will explore Franklin’s life, work and legacy. The Rosalind Franklin Centenary Series is a Campus PR production.

The discovery of DNA’s structure is the story of five towering minds in pursuit of the advancement of science, and for almost all of them, the prospect of fame and immortality: Watson, Crick, Rosalind Franklin, Maurice Wilkins, and Linus Pauling. Howard Markel skillfully recreates the intense intellectual journey, and fraught personal relationships, that ultimately led to a spectacular breakthrough. But it is Rosalind Franklin - fiercely determined, relentless, and an outsider at Cambridge and the University of London in the 1950s - who becomes a focal point for Markel.
