 A Conversation with Jim Watson
Watson was interested in birds when he entered the University of Chicago in 1943, but, said Baltimore “he clearly must have understood that there was a revolution inherent in the concept of the gene.” He asked Watson if any of his teachers had influenced him in thinking about the gene.
Watson said that he had been meaning to test himself on the suspicion that he might have “a low amount of the violence-promoting gene,” but added that he had good parents and that nurture is immensely important.
Watson didn’t answer directly, but noted that if they had given the double helix two Nobel Prizes, one in biology to Watson and Crick and one in chemistry to Wilkins and Franklin, “it would have been the nice thing.” But the fact remains that it was Crick and Watson who had the insight.

 The Smokers Club, Inc. - Canada Health Promotion Minister Jim Watson wants to make cigarettes illegal
Watson said there will be more debate on bar patios which have become the new smoking lounges, and there is some pressure from non-smokers to ban smoking in apartment buildings.
Watson no doubt knows that a total tobacco ban is not realistic, but they are totally consistent with the simplistic way his government would like to operate if they could get away with it.
Watson’s wish to totally ban cigarettes is indicative of the paternalistic attitude that the Liberal government has towards the citizens of Ontario.

 Nobel Winner's Theories Raise Uproar in Berkeley Geneticist's views strike many as racist, sexist Tom Abate / SF ...
Watson advanced his thesis during a guest lecture at the University of California at Berkeley last month, prompting several faculty members to brand his remarks as racist, sexist and unsupported by any scientific data.
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.
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.
