If she lived she clearly deserved to receiveit, but would she? I doubt it, the 3 men would still have. They called her "Rosy" instead of doctor, oh the examples are numerous of what she had to endure.

She deserved it, but 3 men? And only can win, I doubt it.

Would they have received it, if it was not for her groundbreaking work? Would she received it if she had lived. I doubt it, there can only be 3 winners.

Additional context on Rosalind Franklin - www.nature.com/articles/d41...

Her name should be acknowledged with the same prominence as Crick & Watson.

Would they have won without Franklin's groundbreaking work?

Again some are saying the Nobel prize is not given posthumously. That old argument, so tired of that re Franklin, would the 3 men have won if not for her work to begin with?

Today we have a Museum dedicated to her: The Story of Emily in Cornwall. Have a look at our website and Instagram.

True, a new Lancet study also shows how Africa lost years in childhood vaccination, and not so much due to antivaxx but access.

A lot of excellent research is being done in South Africa, along with other African countries about Sickle Cell Disease.
