Rosalind Franklin - Custom Design Minifigure
Rosalind Franklin - Custom Design Minifigure
Famous for discovering the double DNA helix, her work was claimed by another and at the time never got the recognition she deserved. We've tried to recreate her by giving her a labcoat, her well known pearl necklace and the slide with the DNA discovery on it! In the spirit of International Women's Day we have also added an inspirational quote from each of the people we've recreated to the minifig's back!!
20% of sales of this minifigure are split between Kiva and the Chrysalis Youth Empowerment Network.
Kiva is an international non-profit organisation that gives out micro-loans to women around the world to help them with their small businesses. The money is a loan and not a donation. When the loan is paid back to us, we then add the money straight back to the loan pot again, so that more and more women can benefit from these micro-loans. We do not receive interest from these loans.
The Chrysalis Youth Empowerment Network (Uganda) aim to advance gender equality through girls’ education.
