16. Rosalind Franklin In April of 1953, James Watson, Francis Crick and Maurice Wilkins identified the substance of life -- the structure of DNA. They later shared a Nobel Prize. Their discovery depended heavily on the work of a woman, chemist Rosalind Franklin, whose research was used without her knowledge or permission. Her photo showed, for the first time, the essential structure of DNA -- the double-helix shape, which also indicated its method of replication. Franklin died of ovarian cancer in 1956 at the age of 37, before the Nobel Prize was awarded to the three men. http://www.npr.org/programs/atc/features/2002/oct/darklady/ Rosalind Franklin: The Dark Lady of DNA , by Brenda Maddox 1920 - 1958 DNA Structure

Brain Imaging “ Positron Emission Tomography (PET) is a medical imaging method which uses radiotracers to track biochemical transformations as well as the movement of drugs in the living human and animal body. . . PET has been of particular value in the study of addiction because it allows us to image the distribution and movement of drugs as well as the effects of drugs on the brain.”
