	James Dewey Watson (1928 - )
		James Watson, one of the most influential researchers in the short history of the field of genetics, was born on April 6, 1928, in Chicago.
		Crick and Watson made the intuitive leap: in 1953, they proposed that the structure of DNA was a winding helix in which pairs of bases (adenine paired with thymine and guanine paired with cytosine) held the two strands together.
		The Watson-Crick model of the DNA double helix provided enormous impetus for research in the emerging fields of molecular genetics and biochemistry, and Crick, Watson, and Wilkins were awarded the Nobel Prize in 1962.

	AlterNet: James Watson Wants to Build a Better Human
		Many of the newspaper, radio and television accounts of the 50th anniversary of the discovery of DNA's double helix, focused on the eccentric genius and baffling charm of co-discoverer James Watson.
		Not that Watson has ever put much stock in "ethics." At last month's NIH symposium honoring Watson, he was hailed for having proposed that 3 percent of the human genome project budget be devoted to exploring the ethical, legal and social implications of the research.
		Watson then sought to pre-empt any scientific self-doubt: "We should be proud of what we're doing and not worry about destroying the genetic patrimony of the world, which is awfully cruel to too many people," he said.

	Nobel Winner's Theories Raise Uproar in Berkeley Geneticist's views strike many as racist, sexist Tom Abate / SF Chronicle 13nov00
		Nobel laureate James Watson, whose co-discovery of DNA revolutionized the field of genetics, has provoked a scientific controversy by suggesting there are biochemical links between skin color and sexual activity and between thinness and ambition.
		Berkeley biology professor Caroline Kane, who did not attend Watson's talk, said she was disappointed that ``a figure who looms so large in the science of the late 20th century'' would take such a provocative stance in the absence of the precise data that is the hallmark of good science.
		Watson, who shared a Nobel Prize for his role in figuring out the structure of DNA in 1953, and who launched the Human Genome Project in 1990, declined to answer questions about his lecture.

		MONTEREY, California -- James Watson, the scientist who won a Nobel Prize for his part in discovering the structure of the DNA double helix, thinks tennis star John McEnroe would be the ideal person to play him in a film.
		But Watson is more widely known for biting comments like the one he made on Wednesday about Linus Pauling, who won a Nobel Prize in chemistry in 1964 but was unable to uncover DNA's true structure.
		Watson and Crick knew from chemistry data what the chemicals looked like, and that they were a crucial part of DNA's structure.
