James D. Watson

A short time after this he left Montrose and proceeded to Edinburgh, in order to propagate the gospel in that city.

By the way, he lodged with a faithful brother, called James Watson of Inner Gory.

In the middle of the night he got up and went into the yard, which two men hearing they privately followed him.

While in the yard he fell on his knees and prayed for some time with the greatest fervency, after which he arose and returned to his bed.

But first, Biographies! Yes, plural this week, because when you start talking about something as multitudinously awesome and elegant as DNA, you have to wonder just who figured all this stuff out and how big was their brain? Well, unsurprisingly, it actually took a lot of different brains in a lot of different countries and nearly a hundred years of thinking to do it.

The names you usually hear when someone asks who discovered DNA are James Watson and Francis Crick, but that's bunk.

They did not discover DNA, nor did they discover that DNA contained genetic information.

DNA itself was discovered in 1869 by a Swiss biologist named Friedrich Mischa.

Franklin, who informed Watson and Crick that an earlier theory of a triple helix structure was not possible.

And in doing so, she indicated that DNA may indeed be a double

Yeah, sure.

So back in about 1992, 1993, in a company that I was working in, we had Jim Watson on our scientific advisory board.

And Jim's thesis was very much that if we could sequence the whole human genome, we would be able to find where the genes were and we would be able to spot mutations in those genes that were causing disease.

And you have to remember at the time that our conception of a genetic disease was in terms of sickle cell anemia or cystic fibrosis or Huntington's disease, things where one gene goes wrong and it automatically causes this disease.

That image contained critical information about DNA's structure.

Maurice Wilkins showed the photograph to James Watson without Franklin's knowledge.

And Franklin and Gosling's research was ultimately published in the same 1953 issue of Nature as Watson and Crick's double helix model.

King's College Today describes Photography 51 and Franklin's broader data as critical to the understanding of DNA structure.

Now, there is a nuance here.

I'm not going to give you the social media version where Rosalind Franklin discovered DNA and two men stole it.

That simplifies the science and the history.

Watson and Crick made major contributions.

Do you guys even know that he's there? And he's the best of us currently, and he's still not that old, you know? Um, my feeling is that there's pretty much been a giant decrease in our effectiveness, and I know why.

When, when you kick Jim Watson out of Cold Spring Harbor, which he built, w- what are you doing? Do you know that Mark Ptashne, uh, is in his mid-80s? Uh, guy who wrote a genetic switch on phage lambda and one of the most brilliant, irreverent people.

You, you know, at some point I think I sent a journalist to him, and the journalist came back with his tail between the legs and said, "That, that, that guy's insane."

Mm.

I mean, I, I've spent a lot of time in Silicon Valley.

I'm not nearly interested at, as interested in having a new McLaren as whether my name is gonna be discussed 10,000 years from now if humans are still around.

And I, I say that because, you know, Jim Watson just died.

My good friends, uh, Isidor Singer, Raoul Bott are, are now dead.

But nonetheless, I think it's a lovely story.

And to be the smallest village to ever take part in the DFB-Pokal, that is, that is a perfectly sweeper record that was drawn to our attention by James Watson on Instagram.

And I have to say, we wouldn't have spotted this, and when he told us about it, I was just absolutely delighted to start digging into this 'cause it's, it's just such a lovely story.

Yeah.
