Rosalind Franklin: The Dark Lady of DNA de Brenda Maddox

Rosalind Franklin: The Dark Lady of DNA

Autor Brenda Maddox
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 29 sep 2003
In 1962, Maurice Wilkins, Francis Crick, and James Watson received the Nobel Prize, but it was Rosalind Franklin's data and photographs of DNA that led to their discovery.
Brenda Maddox tells a powerful story of a remarkably single-minded, forthright, and tempestuous young woman who, at the age of fifteen, decided she was going to be a scientist, but who was airbrushed out of the greatest scientific discovery of the twentieth century.
