Franklin, Rosalind Elsie and Gosling, Raymond George. Photo 51. 1952, King´s College London in London, England

The genetic material glimpsed in Photo 51 connects all living things and the image thus metaphorically captures human past, present, and future. It also marks an important milestone in science. In the last half-century, research that drew from Franklin’s photograph has brought advances in biology, medicine, paleontology, and many other parts of life.

Rosalind Franklin (UK, London, 1920 - 1958)

Photo 51, showing X-ray diffraction pattern of DNA On 6 May 1952, at King´s College London, Rosalind Franklin photographed her fifty-first X-ray diffraction pattern of deoxyribosenucleic acid, or DNA. Photograph 51, or Photo 51, revealed information about DNA´s three-dimensional structure by displaying the way a beam of X-rays scattered off a pure fiber of DNA. Franklin took Photo 51 after scientists confirmed that DNA contained genes.

The X-ray crystallographer and biophysicist provided much of the experimental evidence for the structure of DNA, in the form of Photo 51 (below), before switching her focus to viruses at Birkbeck College. She died of cancer at the age of 38.

If you could meet someone you've always wanted to meet right now, who would you want to meet and what would you say/do?

I think I probably want to meet with Sergi Llull a Real Madrid Basketball player. And the first thing would be ask: why the hell did you say 'No' to the Houston Rockets? And the next question would be 'why did you thought it was a good idea to not comment/let Real Madrid choose the NBA clause at 60 millions euros?

The other person I'd like to meet might be Rosalind Franklin just to warn her about the supervisor going behind her back and showing the infamous photo 51 to Crick and Watson. That "photo" (was an X-ray of the DNA) was the key evidence to postulate and later on confirm the DNA structure. Franklin was not aware of that, and never credited. In fact, the credit of her work when to the her boss.

I'd like to see what might happen if she hadn't got the photo.

Another mini update because I think I deserve to talk about this:

I am changing game plans! I'm not sure if I've mentioned this but... The shell stitch is such a yarn eater. I have four rows of shells, but you actually don't see that there are about eight rows in this because there are intermittently small ones to set up the space for all the shells. These four rows have basically eaten up ninety percent of my skein of 210 yards (192 meters). My question is: should I make one more shell stitch row before transitioning into double crochet, or is four sufficient?

My new plan now is something like this: shell stitch four rows, double crochet until I reach the center of the tallit. The middle will be a few more rows of shells, then back to double crochet until I make it to the other side. I genuinely can't think of a worse idea that thirty-three inches (eighty-four centimeters) of solid white in shell stitch.

(Do note that my camera has completely altered the colors. It does this automatically and I hate it so much. These colors are so much richer and more interesting than how this camera decided to mess with it)
