As part of #DNADay23, we celebrate Rosalind Franklin for her work and influence in science. Thanks to Franklin, we have the historic Photo 51, which revealed that DNA has a double helix shape!
A graphic that shows a picture of Rosalind Franklin looking through a microscope. It features her quote, "In my view, all that is necessary for faith is the belief that by doing our best we shall succeed in our aims; the improvement of mankind."

Happy #DNADay23! It truly is the perfect date.
In the movie “Miss Congeniality,” Miss Rhode Island is asked to describe her perfect date. She says “I’d have to say April 25th. Because it’s not too hot, and not too cold. All you need is to celebrate DNA Day!”
