Scholarship Description: The Anne Sayre Prize is awarded annually to a WISE woman who reflects the spirit of Anne Sayre, a scholar, a biographer, fiction writer and judge. Anne Sayre was the author of the well-known biography Rosalind Franklin and DNA, which established the critical role which Rosalind Franklin portrayed in the discovery of the structure of DNA. Specifically, Watson and Crick used an X-ray diffraction pattern photograph of the DNA molecule that Rosalind Franklin had taken in making their landmark breakthrough. Anne Sayre’s book was significant both for encouraging a reassessment of Rosalind Franklin’s contributions to the discovery of DNA and for disclosing how sexism has at times strongly colored science and scientific careers.
