    Elizabeth "Dolly" Shepherd was a pioneering parachutist and daredevil in the early 20th century. From her humble beginnings as a teenager with dreams bigger than the Edwardian era allowed, to her breathtaking feats of bravery in the skies, Dolly's story is one of fearless ambition and resilience. But her courage wasn’t confined to the clouds. During World War I, Dolly took her fearless spirit to the road as an army chauffeur, driving heavy vehicles and ambulances for wounded soldiers - a role that broke barriers and redefined women’s contributions during wartime. We explore her groundbreaking career as a "parachute girl," the heart-stopping accident that nearly ended her life, her remarkable recovery, and her wartime service that further cemented her legacy as a trailblazer.

    Episode 312: Hoes of History: Rosalind Franklin

    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.
