On #DNADay , we commemorate Dr. Rosalind Franklin's Photo 51, an x-ray diffraction image that was not just a scientific breakthrough, but a revelation. It unveiled the double helix of DNA, a discovery that fundamentally changed our understanding of life's inheritance.

Years of hard work, resilience and dreaming culminated on #MatchDay today for our students in Dr. William M. Scholl College, Chicago Medical School and College of Health Professions. Congratulations to our amazing students! rosalindfranklin.edu/news/match-day…

We salute our namesake, Dr. #RosalindFranklin , for inspiring generations of women in science this #InternationalWomensDay . Women among our faculty, students and alums contribute to history — thank you, Dr. Franklin, for being a model of innovation.
