Using " Photo 51 " ( the X-ray diffraction results of Raymond Gosling and Rosalind Franklin of King's College London, given to them by Gosling and Franklin's colleague Maurice Wilkins ), Watson and Crick together developed a model for a helical structure of DNA, which they published in 1953.

In order to construct their model of DNA, Watson and Crick made use of information from unpublished X-ray diffraction images of Franklin's ( shown at meetings and freely shared by Wilkins ), including preliminary accounts of Franklin's results / photographs of the X-ray images that were included in a written progress report for the King's College laboratory of Sir John Randall from late 1952.

It is also not clear how important Franklin's unpublished results from the progress report actually were for the model-building done by Watson and Crick.

Franklin's X-ray diffraction data for DNA and her systematic analysis of DNA's structural features was useful to Watson and Crick in guiding them towards a correct molecular model.

See Ian Hacking's The Emergence of Probability and James Franklin's The Science of Conjecture for histories of the early development of the very concept of mathematical probability.

" Unlike the other Colonial colleges that existed in 1743 — Harvard, William and Mary, and Yale — Franklin's new school would not focus merely on education for the clergy.

* May 23 – The USS Advance puts to sea from New York to search for John Franklin's Arctic expedition.

During the early 1950s, while Watson and Crick were determining the structure of deoxyribonucleic acid ( DNA ), they made use of unpublished X-ray diffraction images taken by Rosalind Franklin, shown at meetings and shared with them by Maurice Wilkins, and of Franklin's preliminary account of her detailed analysis of the X-ray images included in an unpublished 1952 progress report for the King's College laboratory of Sir John Randall.

Being the Darwin Lectures for 2003, including one by Sir Aaron Klug on Rosalind Franklin's role in determining the structure of DNA.

Franklin's respect for cultural diversity did not reappear widely as an assumption in Euro-American thought until Franz Boas and others revived it around the end of the nineteenth century.

* 1953 — After examining Franklin's unpublished data, James D. Watson and Francis Crick published a double-helix structure for DNA, with one sugar-phosphate backbone running in the opposite direction to the other.

Franklin's name shall live for aye.

An engine Ericsson constructed for Sir John Franklin's use failed under the Antarctic conditions for which, out of Franklin's desire to conceal his destination, it had not been designed.

Franklin is known for the Franklin Cider Mill, which actually lies just north of Franklin's borders, in neighboring Bloomfield Township, although it does have a Franklin mailing address.

Gen. William B. Franklin's division to board transport ships on the York River in an attempt to move upstream and land so as to cut off Johnston's retreat.

It is a matter of debate whether Watson and Crick should have had access to Franklin's results without her knowledge or permission, and before she had a chance to formally publish the results of her detailed analysis of her X-ray diffraction data which were included in the progress report.

Crick's access to Franklin's progress report of late 1952 is what made Crick confident that DNA was a double helix with antiparallel chains, but there were other chains of reasoning and sources of information that also led to these conclusions.

When it became clear to Wilkins and the supervisors of Watson and Crick that Franklin was going to the new job, and that Linus Pauling was working on the structure of DNA, they were willing to share Franklin's data with Watson and Crick, in the hope that they could find a good model of DNA before Pauling was able.

Franklin's writings on American Indians were remarkably free of ethnocentricism, although he often used words such as " savages ," which carry more prejudicial connotations in the twentieth century than in his time.

Franklin's widow and other surviving relatives and indeed the nation as a whole were shocked to the core and refused to accept these reports, which appeared to undermine the whole assumption of the cultural superiority of the heroic white explorer-scientist and the imperial project generally.

Aretha Franklin's 1967 recordings, such as " I Never Loved a Man ( The Way I Love You )", " Respect " ( originally sung by Otis Redding ), and " Do Right Woman, Do Right Man " ( written by Chips Moman and Dan Penn ), are considered the apogee of the soul genre, and were among its most commercially successful productions.

Franklin's images of X-ray diffraction confirming the helical structure of DNA were shown to Watson without her approval or knowledge.

Such questions were ultimately deemed beyond the scope of the inquest, whose purpose was to establish the circumstances of Franklin's role in the shooting, not to determine precisely what had transpired between Cooke and Boyer preceding the event.

In Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, demonstrations were subdued but even targeted Benjamin Franklin's home, although it was not vandalized.

A route through the underground chambers proceeds, from the Entrance Hall, to the Steward's Chamber and Whitehead's Cave, through Lord Sandwich's Circle ( named after John Montagu, 4th Earl of Sandwich ), Franklin's Cave ( named after Benjamin Franklin, a friend of Dashwood who visited West Wycombe ), the Banqueting Hall ( allegedly the largest man-made chalk cavern in the world ), the Triangle, to the Miner's Cave ; and finally, across a subterranean river named the Styx, lies the final cave, the Inner Temple, where the meetings of the Hellfire Club were held, and which is said to lie 300 feet ( 90 metres ) directly beneath the church on top of West Wycombe hill.

Parliament agreed to the independence of the Thirteen Colonies and to generous borders, although Benjamin Franklin's demands that Britain cede parts of Canada and other territories in North America were rejected.

Here, he and others considered Benjamin Franklin's early plan for uniting the colonies, but the principles of the plan were rejected in both the colonies and Great Britain.

The Almanack was also a reflection of the norms and social mores of his times, rather than a philosophical document setting a path for new-freedoms, as the works of Franklin's contemporaries, Jefferson, Adams, or Paine were.

Bernard may also have played a role in the difficulties Benjamin Franklin had in being recognized as a colonial agent ; after Franklin's credentials were refused by the colonial secretary, he encountered Bernard in an antechamber.
