Science And Daily Life

\”Science and everyday life can not and should not be separated.\”

Those were the words of the renowned British Chemist and X-ray Chrystalographer Rosalind Elsie Franklin, who committed a large part of her life to observing and mapping out the molecular structures of DNA RNA, viruses, and graphite, invisible constituents of chromosomes that help in encoding genetic informations.

Dr Franklin studied at Newnham College, Cambridge University, London. Born in the Summer of July 25, 1920 in Notting Hill, London, UK, Rosalind developed a strong passion for Science. Unfortunately, she died in April 16, 1958 shortly after her research was published on a national newspaper.

Though her life on earth lasted a mere 38 years, Dr Franklin devoted most part of it in her pursuit of understanding Science and its relationship with our daily living.

Such devotion to Scientific research not only inspires us to want to know more about our natural environment but also teaches us to embrace Science as the gateway to intellectual and spiritual breakthrough.
