Female chemsist

rosalind franklin was born in notting hill, london in 1920. she dies in chelsea, london in 1958, she was only 37 when she died of cancer.  Rosalind is famous for her discoveries in the structure of DNA. she also made extremely important contributions in the discovery and understanding of the molecular structures of coal and graphite.  however franklins discovery of the molecular model she made is rumored to have been stolen. there is speculation that james watson and maurice wilkins stole her model and used it to win the nobel prize.
   Franklin also worked as a researcher and teacher at kings college. she first started working on the x-ray diffraction of proteins and lipids, but was redirected to the structure of DNA. if she was not redirected some of the contributions she set forth to the molecular structure of coal and graphite might not have been contributed.

Bill Nye the Science guy

when i think of a scientist the first person who pops in my head is obviously bill nye the science guy.  Bill nye the science guy didn't make any major contributions to the formal science world that i know of however he helped teach science to many kids all over the country. not only did he teach it but made science fun and interesting to kids.  i admire bill nye because as a kid he made me really enjoy science by watching his videos. i also held a girls hand for the first time in 2nd grade during on of his videos so that was kind of a big deal.
