Rosalind Franklin was a brilliant yet underappreciated scientist whose work was instrumental in one of the greatest scientific breakthroughs of the 20th century - the discovery of the DNA double helix. Often overshadowed in the history books, Rosalind's meticulous research in X-ray crystallography paved the way for the understanding of DNA's structure, yet her contributions went largely uncredited during her lifetime. We explore Rosalind's journey from her early education in England to her groundbreaking work at King's College London. We'll discuss her pivotal Photograph 51, which revealed the DNA double helix's structure and the circumstances around how her data was shared without her consent. We'll also highlight her character, scientific rigor, and resilience in a male-dominated field, as well as her impactful work on the structures of viruses before her untimely death.

Against the relentless tide of the USSR's state atheism stood Abbas Antonina, a figure whose story of resistance and faith we explore in our latest episode. Her tale begins with the Bolsheviks' desecration of a holy convent, the sorrowful demise of her sisters, and the GPU's ominous bounty on her head. We follow Antonina's journey of narrow escapes, including a betrayal that could have sealed her fate, and the divine twist that left her pursuers grasping at shadows. But the heart of this episode lies in the unbreakable spirit of a woman who, amidst the clandestine existence and messages from the enigmatic Mother Anastasia, remained a pillar of hope for those who dared to believe in Christ.With her fate intertwined with the destiny of a secret community of nuns hidden away in the Caucasus Mountains, Antonina's story of sacrifice reaches its peak. Under Mother Anastasia's guidance, Antonina's surrender to the GPU is a paradoxical triumph, resulting in her release and the rekindling of a clandestine flame of faith. Yet the somber reality of their sacred mission comes crashing down as GPU agents, disguised as forest rangers, extinguish the lives of the devout. Our episode narrates the tragic yet inspiring end of Antonina's life in exile and the indelible mark she left behind—a beacon of Christian fortitude in an era of darkness and oppression.Please visit out Patreon!https://www.patreon.com/CloudofWitnessesRadio/postsAlso on YouTube:https://www.youtube.com/@cloudofwitnessesradioThank you for journeying w/ the Saints with us!
