Rosalind Franklin, whose contribution to the Double Helix structure of the DNA went unrecognised.

I have depicted her looking at the X-Ray crystallographic image of DNA and the idea of a double helix forming in her mind. (The eventual winners of the Nobel Prize stole her X-Ray films and came up with the structure according to some accounts. Ref: "Double Helix" by Watson and a Biography of Rosalind Franklin by Brenda Maddox, for instance)

    Interesting story there, Anil. And the sketch itself contains some great food for thought :)
