Want to hear Biology come to life? Listen to the most drama-filled story there is in Biology. Rosalind Franklin Deserves her story to be heard, and it's incredible! This is just one example of how my site makes Biology come to life! Please share!

Today in Mighty Girl history, Rosalind Franklin, the British scientist who first discovered the helix shape of DNA, was born in 1920. Franklin, who graduated with a doctorate in physical chemistry from Cambridge University in 1945, used her knowledge of x-ray diffraction techniques to take the first photo of DNA, referred to as Photo 51.

Without her permission, fellow researcher Maurice Wilkins later showed her photo to James Watson and Francis Crick, who were also trying to determine the structure of DNA. Franklin's photo allowed them to deduce the structure and, shortly thereafter, they published a series of articles about the discovery, only mentioning Franklin's contributions in a footnote. While Watson, Crick and Wilkins received the Nobel Prize in 1962 for their contributions to science, Franklin had passed away due to cancer four years prior and was not eligible for the award.

While Franklin has become increasingly recognized for her immense contributions to molecular biology, even today, students everywhere learn the story of Watson and Crick's discovery but few are taught about the critical contributions of Rosalind Franklin to understanding the nature of DNA. Franklin's story remains one of the most famous and egregious examples of a female scientist being denied credit for her work due to sexism.

For older teens and adults who would like to learn more about Franklin's story, we recommend the excellent biography "Rosalind Franklin: The Dark Lady of DNA" at http://amzn.to/UsaGsr

Rosalind Franklin is also one of the 52 female scientists profiled in the excellent recent release “Headstrong: 52 Women Who Changed Science – and The World," which is highly recommended for teens and adults alike at http://www.amightygirl.com/headstrong-52-women

For several posters that feature Rosalind Franklin, check out this fantastic art print (http://www.amightygirl.com/rosalind-franklin-art), this minimalist poster (http://www.amightygirl.com/rosalind-franklin-poster), and the History of Women in Science poster (http://www.amightygirl.com/history-women-science-poster).

To introduce women's important scientific contributions to a new generation, in our "Scientists" section, we feature a variety of books for children and teens about real-life female scientists at http://www.amightygirl.com/books/history-biography/biography?cat=209

Good afternoon! I'd like to personally take a few minutes to thank you from the bottom of my heart for signing on as a member of Plano Science Tutor during its inaugural year. As a professional educator, my one goal is to do anything that I can to contribute to the academic advancement of my community, and I strongly feel that this site has pulled me closer to that goal than I could have ever thought possible.

I sincerely hope that this site has provided the necessary resources to ensure your child's success in his/her Biology class, and that we all feel that we've had a mutualistic partnership (ask your kids to explain that term to you!).

As the year comes to a close, I will take the liberty of ending all current memberships tomorrow night, June 6th, in order to avoid any unneccesary or unwanted payments to be made without purpose. My business model is focused, direct, and above all else, honest. If, for any reason, you would like your membership to continue for any amount of time, please be sure to let me know as soon as possible.

If possible, I am greatly interested in collecting as many testimonials from current members as possible. If you've had any positive experiences with this site, please reply and let me know. Perhaps, with your approval, I may be able to include some of these testimonials to the site for future prospective members!

And finally, as an educator, I too am constantly wanting to learn and grow. For that reason, I am asking that you take a few minutes of your time to complete this short, 10-question survey about your time as a member here at Plano Science Tutor. Please be as brutally honest as you can, for one cannot begin to move forward until he realizes that he's standing still.

Here's the link: https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/MFSQ8CM

Again, thank you so much for your support, and if you know of any upcoming 9th graders, please spread the word! So much of this site's success depends on word of mouth of satisfied members like yourselves! Have a wonderful summer break with your children and best of luck with their continued success!

Sincerely,
Ramy Mahmoud
