Rosalind Franklin earned a Ph. D. in physical chemistry from Cambridge University. She learned crystallography and X-ray diffraction, techniques that she applied to DNA fibers.

Franklin dealt with her fair share of discrimination and sexism. As a woman, and as a Jew, she often felt isolated from her colleagues, and these were challenges she was never quite able to overcome.

Education-  She was a secretary fora man named Mr. Leaky. He saw that her research was very important so he convinces Cambridge University to let her go to a special program to revive her college degree, even though she has never gone to college before. 

Struggles- Since she didn’t have a college education, people who saw her work thought it was not credible.

Accomplishments- She discovered that wild chimpanzees use things like sticks to stick them into termite mounds making it easier to get their food.
