It doesn't matter whether or not Rosalind Elsie Franklin was truly credited for finding DNA, it will always be true that she was the real DNA-discoverer. She died of ovarian cancer at the age of thirty seven on April 16, 1958. Because the structure was not proven while she was alive, Rosalind was never nominated for the Nobel Prize. Though this may be the case, with the help of Rosalind’s brilliant detection, physicists have been able to find out why and how different inheritance diseases are passed on and help officials to figure out who really convicted a crime. as it is stated on Rosalind’s tombstone, “Her research and discoveries on viruses remain of lasting benefit to mankind.”
