Person
James Watson
Biologist who, together with Francis Crick, proposed the DNA double helix model.
He was an American molecular biologist (1928–2025). He built part of his career at the University of Cambridge and later at Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory.
He is recognized, together with Francis Crick, for proposing the DNA double helix model in 1953, for which he received the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine in 1962 along with Crick and Maurice Wilkins.
The video recounts that, without her knowledge, Watson gained access to Rosalind Franklin's Photo 51 through Maurice Wilkins, and that with that confidential data he and Crick built their three-dimensional model and published it immediately. It notes that the glory of the Nobel Prize he won was built on data Franklin never knew had been stolen from her.
