"James D. Watson, the controversial American biologist whose 1953 discovery of the structure of DNA ushered in the age of genetics, has died at the age of 97.
His work provided the foundation for the biotechnology revolution of the late 20th century.
His death was confirmed by Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory on Long Island, where he worked for many years.
In his later years, Mr Watson's reputation was tarnished by comments on genetics and race that led him to be ostracised by the scientific establishment.His work provided the foundation for the biotechnology revolution of the late 20th century.
His death was confirmed by Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory on Long Island, where he worked for many years.
His 1968 memoir, "The Double Helix," was a racy, take-no-prisoners account of how he and British physicist Francis Crick were first to determine the three-dimensional shape of DNA."
I find it amusing how people like Whitley Strieber who have their own podcast show try and give legitimacy to their own stories by inviting people like Dean Radin on to flog his book and then try to make it about their own "experiences":-)
