Rosalind Franklin was a biophysicist and X-ray crystallographer who collected data that led to determining the structure of DNA. James Watson and Francis Crick wrote a paper using the data and received a Nobel Prize after Rosalind’s death. Why might Rosalind not have also received the Nobel Prize?
Start class with this question to get students thinking.
Sample answers could not include that women’s contributions to science were not valued, that a dead person cannot receive a Nobel Prize, or that collecting data isn’t viewed as important as writing a paper.

The amount of time you give students here is highly dependent on how they are grouped and how you have divided the questions. 10 minutes is probably sufficient time to answer one question, but is certainly not enough time to answer all the questions.

Scenario: You are designing museum that honors the contributions of women to medicine. Use Office Sway to create a website showcasing your work to a group of investors. Include the following:
Draw up a layout of how the museum will be arranged. How will the exhibits be organized and themed?
How will you present information on the women and their contributions in a way that people will want to see?
Museums often have interactive exhibits. Include plans for one interactive exhibit in your museum.
Museums are also involved in the current state of the field. Include plans for one program that your museum could support that would encourage women to enter the field of medical research.
