	James Craig Watson - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		James Craig Watson (January 28, 1838 – November 22, 1880) was a Canadian-American astronomer born in the village of Fingal in Ontario, Canada.
		However, one of his asteroid discoveries, 139 Juewa was made in Beijing when Watson was there to observe the 1874 transit of Venus.
		By bequest he established the James Craig Watson Medal, awarded every three years by the National Academy of Sciences for contributions to astronomy.

	James D. Watson, Ph.D. Profile -- Academy of Achievement
		James Watson was only 25 years old when he and his older colleague, Francis Crick, discovered the structure of deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) the building block of all life on Earth.
		Watson and Crick won the Nobel Prize for Physiology and Medicine in 1962, but this was not the end of Watson's career in the public eye.
		From 1988 to 1992 James Watson served as the first Director of the Human Genome Project at the National Institutes of Health, a massive project to decipher the entire genetic code of the human species.

	James Craig Watson, First Director of Washburn Observatory: His Obsession with the Intra-Mercurial Planet Vulcan (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		The first director of the Washburn Observatory, Watson began his career at the University of Michigan, where he discovered more than a score of asteroids and planned (but did not live to carry out) the first search for a trans-Neptunian planet.
		Nevertheless, Watson remained absolutely convinced of what he had seen, and his move from Ann Arbor to Madison in 1879 was partly motivated by the prospects of obtaining better instruments with which to further his search for Vulcan, which became the obsession of his later years.
		Though it is now known that Vulcan does not exist, Watson's observations at the July 1878 eclipse remain problematic; it is probable that he observed at least one and possibly two pygmy comets in the neighborhood of the Sun.

	James D. Watson, Ph.D. Biography -- Academy of Achievement
		James Dewey Watson was born and raised in Chicago, Illinois.
		The DNA molecule, Watson and Crick had found, is shaped like a double helix, or "gently twisted ladder." The two chains of the helix unlink "like a zipper," and reproduce their missing halves.
		Throughout the ensuing controversy, Watson insisted that devotion to the truth was as essential in writing for the general public as it is in scientific research.

	The IBM Watson Laboratory at Columbia University
		Watson, who was vacationing in Maine, and assured him that the invention under consideration was a sound one and that the inventor who went along with it was probably worth investing in too.
		Watson and other executives tended to view the powerful machine in somewhat the same manner as they had the Test Scoring Machine and the "Columbia Machine" – that is, as a boon to science and education.
		An event of particular note in the history of the Watson Laboratory was the set of experiments on muon decay conducted in January 1957 by Garwin, in conjunction with Professor Leon Lederman of the Columbia Physics Department, in which the University's cyclotron was used to demonstrate the non-conservation of parity in weak interactions.

	Acoustic Guitar Central: Doc Watson's living legacy
		In addition, Watson was back in the Grammy hunt this winter with a three-disc project designed to tell his story and introduce him to future generations.
		Watson's style evolved while playing fiddle tunes on electric guitar in a 1950s dance band and it translated well to the acoustic guitar when he picked it up again in the '60s.
		Watson simply feels that the music he inherited was good for all ages and for all the ages.

	James Craig Watson
		WATSON, James Craig, astronomer, born in Fingal, Ontario, Canada, 28 January, 1838; died in Madison, Wisconsin, 23 November.
		For many years he was actuary of the Michigan mutual life insurance company, and by commercial enterprises he acquired a moderate fortune, of which he bequeathed $16,000 to the National academy of sciences, the income of which is used partly as a research fund and partly for the Watson medal.
		The total number of asteroids that he discovered was twenty-three, and in 1870 he received the Lalande gold medal from the French academy of sciences for the discovery of six asteroids in one year.

	Junior Watson CD Review
		When Junior Watson states his desire to "play like a train runnin' off the tracks," it's a safe bet that there'll be some interesting stop-off points on his new CD.
		Watson's certainly been active in the meantime; with an endless schedule that finds him criss-crossing the globe like the jet stream; he seems to go without stopping, except for an occasional quick nap here and there.
		Junior Watson is as much an oddity of nature as he is a highly influential guitarist and it's no mystery as to why; boundaries don't hedge him as much as they excite him, and he constantly stretches to see how far outside the lines he can drive while maintaining an undeniable blues feel.

		Watson started the project in response to student complaints that the Observatory's telescopes were seldom available because the faculty used them for research.

		Judging from my own experience teaching typography, students appreciate the simple, logical approach to the fundamentals of typography found in James Craig's book 'Designing with Type.' This book deserves praise for enabling students to explore essential knowledge on the subject.
