	John Randall (physicist) Summary
		Sir John Randall (March 23, 1905 – June 16, 1984) was a British physicist, credited with radical improvement of the cavity magnetron, an essential component of the centimetre radar, which was one of the keys to the Allied victory in the Second World War.
		John Randall was born on 23 March 1905 at Newton-le-Willows, Lancashire, the only son and the first of the three children of Sidney Randall, nurseryman and seedsman, and his wife, Hannah Cawley, daughter of John Turton, colliery manager in the area.
		In 1944 Randall was appointed professor of natural philosophy at University of St Andrews and began planning research in biophysics (with Maurice Wilkins) on a small Admiralty grant.

		John was at first taught the organ by his father.
		Towards the end of his life, John drew a pencil sketch of himself in his early years first attempting to play the family organ – he was so young that he had to stand to reach the keys and yet, by the age of seven, he had mastered Bach’s Fugue in E major.
		Sir Frederick Ousley was visiting St. Paul’s and heard the young Stainer performing on the cathedral organ.

	EducationGuardian.co.uk \| Higher \| Lisa Randall: Warped view of the universe
		Randall "stumbled" on the fact that space is warped; accidentally realised, along with Sundrum, the radical implications of Einstein's equation of gravitational background, and proved gravity could be strong in some places and weak elsewhere.
		Gravity was strong enough for Randall to fracture her heel in several places and she reluctantly concedes that it is possible that "we could just be a pocket of three-dimensional space".
		Randall is happy to take a pop at string theorists who talk of 10 or 11 dimensions when "nobody really knows how string theory actually works", and she has no time for ideas that incorporate small dimensions.

		Sir John Randall was the director of the newly founded MRC Biophysics Unit at King's and was responsible for employing the teams of scientists who led the research programmes to discover more about DNA and its structure.
		In 1944, John T. Randall (later Sir John Randall) was appointed to the Chair of Natural Philosophy at the University of St Andrews and in 1945 he began making plans for biophysical research, in which he had been interested for some time.
		Owing to the biophysical nature of Randall’s programme, it was decided that the Medical Research Council (MRC) would administer the scheme and, in March 1947, an MRC biophysics research unit was established at King’s with Randall as Honorary Director.

		This migration was made possible by the newly won influence of physicists such as John Randall, who had helped win the war with inventions such as radar.
		The Cavendish Laboratory at Cambridge was under the general direction of Sir Lawrence Bragg, a Nobel Prize winner in 1915 at the age of 25.
		(Randall had turned down Francis Crick from working at King's College London.) Francis Crick and Maurice Wilkins of King's College London were personal friends, which influenced subsequent scientific events as much as the friendship between Crick and James Watson.

		In 1946 the physicist John Randall was placed in charge of a new biophysics laboratory at King's College.
		By 1951, Randall had established a major effort to solve the structure of collagen and Wilkins and Franklin represented a parallel effort to determine the structure of DNA.

	Rosalind Franklin Summary
		Eager to apply Franklin's x-ray diffraction skills to the problem of DNA structure, Randall had lured her to his lab with a Turner Newall Research Fellowship and the promise that she would be working on one of the more pressing research problems of the era--puzzling out the structure and function of DNA.
		When she informed Randall of her intention to leave King's College for J. Bernal's unit at Birkbeck College, he made it clear that the DNA project was to stay in his lab.
		The other accusation regarding gender is that women were under-represented in John Randall's group, the claim is that there was only one other woman in the group and that the women were excluded because of their gender.

		In 1950 Rosalind was invited by (Sir) John Randall to King’s College, London, to study the structure of DNA.
		By introducing methods to control and vary the water content of the specimens she was able to show that the molecule could exist in two forms (A and B), and to define conditions for the transition between them.
