The History of the Double Helix In our study of the sociology of science‚ reading James Watson’s account of the discovery of the structure of DNA in The Double Helix gives us an insight into how science works as a "collective activity." To illustrate how the norms of science work through this description of events I chose specifically to look at the system of hierarchy among the scientists‚ how the scientists share information between labs‚ and how credit is allocated when the findings are published

Double Helix Readers Guide * Max Perutz – was the head of the unit where Crick works at Cambridge University. Perutz also shared important X-ray crystallography imagery with Watson and Crick that he had received from Maurice Wilkins and Franklin. Whether he was supposed to give this information to Watson and Crick without Franklin’s knowledge is unknown‚ nor is it entirely known how important her work was to the discovery of the structure. * Sir Lawrence Bragg – the head of the Cavendish

scientists James Watson‚ Francis Crick‚ Rosalind Franklin‚ Raymond Gosling‚ and Maurice Wilkins made breakthroughs in the discovery the double helix structure of DNA. The story of their fame and success is portrayed in the movie The Race for the Double Helix. In this film‚ the scientists use two different techniques in their research of DNA. In the end‚ the double helix is discovered when Watson and Crick read a thesis that was written by Franklin. The thesis was written after Franklin had studied X-ray

Watson is writing a book about DNA‚ and I am told to give some feedback about it. I will be telling you about what I think about James Watson’s book‚ The Double Helix. I will be expressing what I think about his book with my feelings of the book‚ my reaction to Watson and Crick using my data‚ and how I would address this situation. The Double Helix‚ it’s a good book‚ but some of the references that James Watson pins on me are wrong and rude. In the book James Watson portrays me as a uncooperative

An enzyme rotates around the double helix unwinding and flattening the structure. The double helix being unwinded is not a natural shape to have for dsDNA. Once the dsDNA is “unzippered”‚ ssDNA can only have new nucleotides partnered with it in one direction. each strand of the chromosome serves as a template to specify as a new complementary DNA strand. Dna acts as a template because each strand becomes a daughter strand by pairing the bases. Replication happens when the helicase attaches and breaks

James Watson’s The Double Helix: A Review A review of Watson‚ James D. The Double Helix. New York: Atheneum‚ 1968. James Watson’s account of the events that led to the discovery of the structure of deoxyribose nucleic acid (DNA) is a very witty narrative‚ and shines light on the nature of scientists. Watson describes the many key events that led to the eventual discovery of the structure of DNA in a scientific manner‚ while including many experiences in his life that happened at the same

Double Fudge is the name of the book‚ with the younger brother‚ six-year-old Farley (Fudge)‚ standing beside protagonist Peter and holding his gigantic “Fudge Buck.” However‚ through clever juxtaposition on Judy Blume’s part‚ I believe this obsession of a young boy to be merely a subplot‚ albeit a necessary one‚ as it leads us‚ the readers‚ to the real plot‚ and the message about family. Such appreciative contrast begins with the Hatcher family of New York‚ imperfect because of wild younger brother
