Scientist representing flair on DNA links, right? (8,8)

I believe the answer is:

rosalind franklin

'scientist' is the definition.
(chemist who helped discover the shape of DNA)

'representing flair on dna links right?' is the wordplay.
'representing' indicates an anagram (letters must be re-presented in a new way).
'right?' becomes 'R' (common abbreviation).
'flair'+'on'+'dna'+'links'+'r'='flairondnalinksr'
'flairondnalinksr' is an anagram of 'ROSALIND FRANKLIN'.

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
