Which British scientist deserves to be on the next banknote?
The Bank of England loves a scientist on a tenner, but who actually deserves the honour next? Rank these brilliant Brits by who you'd most like to see in your wallet.
Put the items in your preferred order.
A
Rosalind Franklin
Her X-ray crystallography cracked the structure of DNA, yet Watson and Crick nabbed the Nobel. Time to put her face where the credit belongs.
B
Sir David Attenborough
He's narrated the natural world for seven decades and made us all weep over walruses. Surely a banknote is the least we owe him.
C
Ada Lovelace
She wrote algorithms before computers existed and basically invented software in a corset. The original tech bro, except a Victorian countess.
D
Stephen Hawking
He made cosmology cool, appeared on The Simpsons, and outlived every doctor's prognosis. A Brief History of Time deserves a brief history on cash.
E
Dorothy Hodgkin
She mapped the structure of penicillin and insulin using X-ray crystallography. Still the only British woman to win a science Nobel, and shamefully under-celebrated.
