Happy birthday to x-ray #crystallographer Dorothy Mary Crowfoot Hodgkin (née Crowfoot, 1910-1994), Nobel laureate in #chemistry for her models of biomolecules like penicillin, vitamin B12 & insulin.
She was “captured for life by chemistry and crystals,” in childhood, 1 of 2 girls allowed to study chemistry rather than domestic science at her school with a small lab in her attic. On her 16th birthday her mother gave her 🧵1/

She was a #physicist, #crystallographer, #pacifist & prison reformer. She was the 1st to employ Fourier spectral methods & used them to solve the structure of hexachlorobenzene in ‘31. In ‘45 she was one of the 1st 2 women elected Fellow of the Royal Society & was the 1st woman: tenured professor at UC London, president of the International Union of Crystallography & president of the British Association for the Advancement of Science. Born in poverty in Ireland, her mother left her father & 🧵2

Happy birthday Rosalind Franklin (1920 – 1958), #chemist & x-ray #crystallographer whose x-ray diffraction images were instrumental to discovering double-helix structure of #DNA, made important contributions to #carbon & #virus research, was 1 of the great scientists of the 20th century.
Watson’s bio lead some to (inaccurately) joke, “What did Watson and Crick discover?” “Rosalind Franklin’s notes.” 🧵 -

April 25 is #NationalDNADay so I’m sharing my portrait of Rosalind Franklin (1920 – 1958), #chemist & x-ray #crystallographer whose x-ray diffraction images were instrumental to discovering double-helix structure of #DNA, made important contributions to #carbon & #virus research, was 1 of the great scientists of the 20th century.
There’s a joke amongst scientists that goes, “What did Watson & Crick discover?”

Happy birthday to Kathleen Lonsdale DBE FRS (née Yardley, 1903-1971) who solved a longstanding #chemistry conundrum of the shape of benzene, here with her drawing of electron density for hexachlorobenzene (green) & model of hexamethylbenzene explore shape in different forms. Her husband said, “Before prison it might have bothered her to go to Buckingham Palace. Afterwards, Holloway or Buckingham Palace were all the same.” She was a #physicist, #crystallographer, #pacifist & prison reformer. 🧵1/

While Rosalind Franklin (1920 – 1958), #chemist & #crystallographer is now remembered because her x-ray diffraction images which were instrumental to discovering double-helix structure of #DNA, I am posting her for #SciArtSeptember theme charcoal, because of her important contributions to #carbon research.
She made invaluable contributions across physics, chemistry & biology, working to determining the structure of #RNA,

#introduction post: I'm a #chemist and a small molecule #crystallographer working in an engineering department helping the researchers study batteries, solar cells, and new metals. In my spare time I play #TTRPG s and am writing one of my own. I also like tactical games like #FireEmblem and #OgreBattle 64. I'm #bisexual and #Genderfluid . I'm currently stuck living in #kelowna #BC, but looking for new #crystallography jobs if you hear of any.

I'm in the process of updating the Encyclopedia of Crystallographic Prototypes, http://www.aflowlib.org/prototype-encyclopedia/ Interested in #CrystalStructure or #ElectronicStructureCalculations?Check it out.
In particular, if there's anything you want added, or is unclear, leave a note here. We'll see if we can implement it in the next version.
If you're a #Crystallographer, yes, I've made mistakes. All I know about #Crystallography I learned by building a website.
