The woman spotlighted is Rosalind Franklin, the pioneering British molecular biologist who wasn’t in the room in real life when her Photo 51 was shared behind her back - and who wasn’t around in death when three colleagues won science’s biggest honor thanks in part to her crucial work. In the elegant, old-timey Doodle, we see a scientific visionary - even as she sees the very photo that would trigger our sudden understanding of DNA and the swirling, twisted-ladder building blocks of life. The picture at the center of this intrigue is known - with a certain mystery-thriller air - as “Photo 51.” And today, that amazing image gets perhaps its widest single exposure yet: as the ultimate focal point of today’s Google home page.
