Dr James Watson co-discoverer of DNA – retires
Dr James Watson, one of the discoverers of the structure of DNA is a man I have admired for many years. Without him and his co-discoverers Dr Rosalind Franklin and Dr James Crick, I and thousands of other genetics fans would not be here today.
Dr Watson has recently come under intense criticism for his somewhat outspoken opinions on inherited intelligence traits shown by differing cultures which he published in his latest book. He has subsequently apologised for those comments and retired from his Cold Spring Harbor laboratory. A tarnished end to a brilliant career.
Just to say thanks, farewell and enjoy your retirement!

watson is without a doubt a sparkling mind and a world class scientist but his credit in the DNA research is a bit over estimated;
still sad to see such a man end his carreer this way; it is unfair

Dr Rosalind Franklin discovered the structure of DNA…Watson & Crick were both frauds. How sad that growing up means learning the ugly truth about reality.
