Short answers, pulled from the story.
Rosalind Elsie Franklin was born on the 25th of July 1920 at 50 Chepstow Villas in Notting Hill, London. She grew up with four siblings including an eldest son named David and younger brothers Colin and Roland.
Franklin published papers on coal porosity using helium to determine density and discovered relationships between fine constrictions in coal pores and permeability of porous space. She coined terms graphitising and non-graphitising carbon that remain standard today while predicting performance for fuel purposes and production of wartime devices such as gas masks.
Franklin produced X-ray images of better quality than those of Wilkins by refining a new fine-focus X-ray tube and creating a humidity-controlling camera chamber. Her analysis showed evidence for a helical structure existed while phosphate groups lay outside the main DNA chain though she could not determine whether two or three chains were present.
Rosalind died at age thirty-seven on the 16th of April 1958 in Chelsea London from bronchopneumonia secondary carcinomatosis and ovarian cancer. She had been admitted to Royal Marsden Hospital earlier that year after falling ill again in mid-1956 when she first suspected health problems during a US work trip.
Franklin never received a Nobel Prize nomination because rules prohibited posthumous awards unless nominations made before February 1st of award year and her death occurred four years prior to the 1962 prize. The prize recognized body of work on nucleic acids not exclusively DNA structure discovery which gained general acceptance late 1950s.
