The Double Helix: The Discovery of the Structure of Dna
Nobel Prize winner James D. Watson was a brash twentythree-year-old when he went to Cambridge University to do research in the famed Cavendish Laboratory. “DNA was still a mystery, up for grabs,”Professor Watson says, “and no one was sure who would get it and whether he would deserve it if it proved as exciting as we believed. Chiefly it was a matter of five people: Maurice Wilkins, Rosalind Franklin, Linus Pauling, Francis Crick, and me.” Professor Watson’s version of the DNA story is important not only for its scientific information, but also for what it reveals about the way scientists work.
