On September 10, 2020, I was honored to give the keynote address for Rosalind Franklin University of Medicine and Science’s 5th Annual Women in Science and Healthcare (WiSH) Symposium. This was especially exciting in this particular year because the symposium was celebrating what would have been crystallographer Rosalind Franklin’s 100th birthday, and Rosalind Franklin’s niece, also named Rosalind Franklin, was present to give a wonderful speech about her aunt and to introduce my talk. What an absolute treat! My talk was entitled, “Rosalind Franklin and Nature‘s Scientist,” and was based on research I did with my amazing co-authors Melissa Parks, Benjamin Mann, Kourtney Maison, and Madison Krall and can be found here.
You can watch the complete presentation here, and you can click here to peruse the beautiful digital program put together by the amazing folks at RFU (especially Dr. Lise Eliot, Jay Mote, and Nichole Ulibarri)! You can take a peak at my power point presentation slides below, as well.
The symposium concluded with a lively panel presentation (see below) concerning women in science and medicine that, although it happened via Zoom this year because of the pandemic, felt as if we were all in the same room together.
