About

The Whipple Museum has recently acquired the blue plaque, originally dedicated to Crick and Watson, which was repeatedly graffitied to acknowledge the contribution which Rosalind Franklin made to the discovery of the structure of DNA.

Director Joshua Nall will talk more about Franklin's story, one of her notebooks (on loan from the Churchill archives) and why telling the stories of women in science is important to the Whipple Museum.

This is a drop in talk, no booking required.

This is a talk that forms part of our Women in Science Saturday
