		Francis Crick is the co-discoverer, with James Watson, of the structure of DNA.
		Crick was born in Northampton, England, in 1916.
		Crick saw that the solution to the mystery lay in discovering the structure of DNA, whose linearity he guessed corresponded to the linear amino acid chains of which proteins are made.

	Consciousness and Neuroscience
		We have argued elsewhere (Crick and Koch, 1995a) that to be aware of an object or event, the brain has to construct a multilevel, explicit, symbolic interpretation of part of the visual scene.
		We have argued (Crick and Koch, 1995a) that in primates, contrary to most received opinion, it is not located in cortical area V1 (also called the striate cortex or area 17).
		For example, neurons related to a certain face might be connected to ones expressing the name of the person whose face it is, and to others for her voice, memories involving her and so on, in a vast associational network, similar to a dictionary or a relational database.

		Crick was on leave of absence at the Protein Structure Project of the Brooklyn Polytechnic in Brooklyn, New York.
		A critical influence in Crick's career was his friendship, beginning in 1951, with James Watson, then a young man of 23, leading in 1953 to the proposal of the double-helical structure for DNA and the replication scheme.
		Crick and Watson subsequently suggested a general theory for the structure of small viruses.

	C&EN: LATEST NEWS - Nobel Laureate Francis Crick Dies at 88
		Francis H. Crick, who, with colleague James D. Watson, first proposed the double helix structure of DNA, died of colon cancer on July 28 at the age of 88.
		Crick and Watson’s discovery, which was announced in Nature in 1953, provided the basis not just for the molecular structure of DNA, but also for its ability to self-replicate and thus transfer genetic information.
		At the time of his death, Crick was a distinguished research professor and former president of the Salk Institute for Biological Studies in La Jolla, Calif. He is survived by his wife, Odile; their daughters Gabrielle and Jacqueline; and a son, Michael, from a previous marriage.

	Bernard Crick - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Sir Bernard Crick (born 16 December 1929) is a British political theorist and democratic socialist whose views are often summarised as "politics is ethics done in public".
		Crick, in 1997, was appointed by his former student, David Blunkett (newly appointed as education secretary in the new Blair government) to head up an advisory group on citizenship education, which led to the introduction of citizenship as a core subject in the national curriculum.
		According to Crick, the ideologically driven leader practises a form of anti-politics in which the goal is the mobilisation of the populace towards a common end—even on pain of death.

	Blog of Death: Francis Crick
		Francis Harry Compton Crick, a Nobel Prize-winning physicist and biochemist who co-discovered the "double-helix" structure of DNA, died on July 28 after a long battle with colon cancer.
		Crick was born in Northampton, England, with an insatiable curiosity about the world.
		Two years later, Crick and Watson entered a nearby pub and announced that they had found "the secret of life." In reality, they had determined that a DNA molecule resembled a twisted ladder, or double helix shape.

		Crick's wife, Odile Speed, said he made the same announcement to her, but she disregarded it because he was always coming home and saying things like that.
		Crick and Sydney Brenner from the University of Cambridge accurately proposed the existence of small chemicals known as "adapters" that are needed to assemble proteins, one amino acid at a time, from genetic instructions.
		Crick did not welcome the attention the Nobel brought, nor did he like the limelight from Watson's best-selling "The Double Helix." In person, colleagues said, he was quick-witted and charming.

		Francis Crick worked closely with James Watson and together they were able to deduce the structure of the deoxyribonucleic acid DNA molecule.
		With fellow workers at Cambridge University, Crick later studied the structure and function of the genetic code--the sequence of nitrogen bases in DNA that directs the joining of amino acids to build protein molecules.
		Crick is credited with developing the term "codon" as it applies to the set of three bases that code for one specific amino acid.

		The discovery of the structure of DNA as a double helix by Watson and Crick (with assists by Wilkins and, especially, by the uncredited Rosalind Franklin) was at the heart of this award.
		Crick, Watson, and Wilkins: "Your discovery of the molecular structure of the deoxyribonucleic acid, the substance carrying the heredity, is of utmost importance for our understanding of one of the most vital biological processes.

	The Watson and Crick Story
		In Crick's view, if Franklin had lived, "it would have been impossible to give the prize to Maurice and not to her" because "she did the key experimental work." And her role didn't end there.
		Her critique of an early Watson and Crick theory had sent them back to the drawing board, and her notebooks show her working toward the solution until they found it; she had narrowed the structure down to some sort of double helix.
		It was Crick who had fastened onto a chemist friend's theoretical hunch of a natural attraction between A and T, C and G.

		I read Biochemistry at University and the fl/white picture of Watson and Crick for me captures men who were at work not realising the impact their studies would have on the scientific world.
		There is absolutely no doubt in any one who understands molecular biology that Crick along with Watson made a discovery that changed the understanding of life dramatically and he will always be remembered for his achievements.

		Francis Crick's grandfather was a shoemaker and amateur scientist.
		The evidence clearly shows she was intimately involved in the research of DNA's structure; that she pointed out the flaws in an early Crick-Watson theory that suggested three, not two, DNA chains; and that Crick and Watson used Franklin's x-ray DNA photographs before obtaining her permission.
		Without Watson, Crick has worked on the structures of polyglycine II and collagen, and researched protein synthesis, the genetic code, and acridine-type mutants.

	Neck Crick (Neck Pain)
		Neck cricks and neck pain in general are extremely common, affecting about 50% of adults per year,3 ranging in severity from trivial to crippling.
		A crick in the neck is that distinctive combination of pain, stiffness and a seemingly mechanical limitation of movement in the cervical spine — like something in your spinal joints is catching or sticking when you try to move.
		Although the proportions and the severity vary from case to case — and the root causes may be as subtle as a draft on your neck while you slept, or as drastic as whiplash from a car accident — the principles remain essentially the same.

	Annotated version of Watson and Crick paper
		Watson, a 23-year-old geneticist, and Crick, a 35-year-old former physicist studying protein structure for his doctorate in biophysics, both saw DNA’s architecture as the biggest question in biology.
		Watson and Crick knew these data would be published in the same April 25 issue of Nature, but they did not formally acknowledge her in their paper.
		Watson and Crick realized at the time that their work had important scientific implications beyond a “pretty structure.” In this statement, the authors are saying that the base pairing in DNA (adenine links to thymine and guanine to cytosine) provides the mechanism by which genetic information carried in the double helix can be precisely copied.

	TIME 100: James Watson & Francis Crick
		On Feb. 28, 1953, Francis Crick walked into the Eagle pub in Cambridge, England, and, as James Watson later recalled, announced that "we had found the secret of life." Actually, they had.
		The British Crick, at 35, still had no Ph.D. The American Watson, 12 years Crick's junior, had graduated from the University of Chicago at 19 and nabbed his doctorate at 22.
		Crick had migrated from physics into chemistry and biology, fascinated by the line "between the living and the nonliving." Watson had studied ornithology, then forsook birds for viruses, and then, doing postdoctoral work in Europe, took another sharp career turn.
