Description:

After Franklin's death, Aaron Klug and other colleagues attempted to organize a memorial fund in her name. This was not accomplished, though a small charity, the Rosalind Franklin Bequest was created out of the residue of her estate to provide small grants to deserving applicants. The capital from this was given to Newnham College by Franklin's family in 2001.
