1.)Gladys West was an African American mathematician 
2.) She born on October 27 (the day before my birthday) 1930. 
3.) She worked with satellites and helped come up with the Global Positioning System commonly known as the GPS.
4.) West grew up on a farm in Virginia

6.) Gladys was valedictorian of her high school class
7.) Earned a full scholarship to Virginia State University ( was Virginia State College at the time) 
8.) She received a masters in math
9.) Gladys received her first offer of a government position from the U.S Naval Weapons Laboratory in Virginia in 1956, where met her husband, (another mathematician there) and where she worked until retirement in 1998

1. Rosalind Elsie Franklin was an English chemist and X-ray crystallographer 
2. her work was central to the understanding of the molecular structures of DNA, RNA, viruses, coal, and graphite
3. made a crucial contribution to the discovery of the double helix structure of DNA
4. She clashed with researcher Maurice Wilkins, who had thought she was his assistant, not his equal. Meanwhile, Franklin was under the impression that she'd be completely independent.
5. using her unpublished data, Maurice Wilkins and James Watson combined her image with their own data to discover what is known today as the double helix structure of DNA
6.  Australian astronomer, John Broughton discovered an asteroid at the Reedy Creek Observatory in Queensland, Australia. He named his discovery the ‘9241 Rosfranklin’ in tribute to Franklin.
7. discovered that the pores in coal were roughly the same size as gas molecules, which meant coal could be used a molecular sieve to separate different molecules. Today, carbon-based molecular sieves are used for many things including extracting oxygen from air.
8. was one of five children born into a wealthy Jewish family
9. her father, Ellis, a merchant banker, objected to women going to college and refused to pay her tuition. Her aunt and mother finally managed to change his mind, and she enrolled at Cambridge's all-female Newnham College in 1938.
10. her work with crystal x-ray diffraction, which involved constant exposure to radiation, led to ovarian cancer, which eventually lead to her death
