Film Screening: “DNA: The Secret of Photo 51”

In 1952, Dr. Rosalind Franklin was remarkably close to unraveling the mysteries of DNA and the building blocks of life itself. When her groundbreaking work was shared without her knowledge or permission, it was used by Drs. Crick and Watson as the foundation of the discovery of the double helix structure of DNA, for which they won a Nobel Prize.

DNA: The Secret of Photo 51 is a compelling documentary that investigates Dr. Franklin’s work and the crucial, yet largely unacknowledged role she played in one of the most important discoveries in scientific history.

Please join The New York Academy of Medicine for a screening of this important film, followed by a discussion with Dr. Cecily Cannan Selby and Dr. Robert Ruben.
