In 1952 at King’s College London, Rosalind Franklin captured one of the most important images in scientific history the famous Photo 51. This X-ray diffraction photo revealed the striking “X” pattern, unlocking the secret structure of DNA, the blueprint of life itself. While her ground-breaking contribution laid the foundation for modern genetics and molecular biology, her name was initially left out of the discovery credits. Watson and Crick built their DNA model with insights from her work, but Franklin’s recognition came much later. Today, she is celebrated as a pioneer whose vision and precision inspired generations of scientists. This comic story highlights not just her discovery but also her struggle for acknowledgment in a male-dominated scientific world. Rosalind Franklin didn’t just take a photo but she reshaped humanity’s understanding of life.
