Pictures of DNA often look very tidy—the strands of the double helix neatly wind around each other, making it seem like studying genetics should be relatively straightforward. In truth, these strands ...

James Watson, who co-discovered the double-helix structure of DNA in 1953, has died at age 97. Born in Chicago in 1928, Watson made the groundbreaking discovery at just 24 years old alongside British ...

There’s no telling how the history of science might have changed if James Watson had had more fun with the binoculars he bought in 1940. He was only 12, but he bought them with his own money, and he ...

For James Watson, DNA was everything — not just his life's work, but the secret of life itself. Over his long and storied career, Watson arguably did more than any other scientist to transform a ...
