Scientists Discover DNA By DiNA Madan idfjdj James D Watson Watson was born on the 6th of April 1928 in Chicago and studied at the Universities of Chicago‚ Indiana‚ Copenhagen and Cambridge University where he joined Francis Crick in the attempt to find the chemical structure of living matter. http://t1.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcQUceZSNxrQ7_IAvEm3D1SuT4wWb-g7jm-xI4fOMKI2mJvSMixaUg The Double Helix In 1953 Watson and Crick presented the three dimensional double-helical

philosophies of scientific discovery. Comment on the way in which the structure of DNA was discovered. Discuss the method used by Watson and Crick‚ and compare and contrast it with the method used by Rosalind Franklin. Which method was more appropriate? Should scientific exploration be a “race”? What are the pros and cons of such a race? How do you feel about Watson and Crick having the “glory” associated with discovering the structure of DNA? 2. Several times in the movie‚ the politics of science

impressions of the main characters? James Watson: An American biologist man who has a research about the DNA. For me‚ James Watson at first was a bit weird guy because of the way he stared and looked at people around him. He is a mysterious guy and a bit naughty to the ladies he has seen. As one of the character said‚ he is the “boy-wonderer”. He is also a very eager to know the research and very observant. Francis Crick: He does the same research with Watson‚ they are both teammates. He is also

processes and methods I found was when Watson said Franklins X-ray patterns are getting better and better. Watson described them as getting more beautiful. You could see it as someone cooking‚ they start to get better at it after practice. Another analogy could be playing the piano‚ in the beginning you are not very good and you do not know much‚ but later on after you practice you start to get better. As the X-ray patterns kept improving‚ it helped Watson and Crick create the first DNA model. It

Designer Babies Picture a young couple in a waiting room looking through a catalogue together. This catalogue is a little different from what you might expect. In this catalogue‚ specific traits for babies are being sold to couples to help them create the "perfect baby." This may seem like a bizarre scenario‚ but it may not be too far off in the future. Designing babies using genetic enhancement is an issue that is gaining more and more attention in the news. This controversial issue‚ once thought

mysteries. That was until February 28th‚ 1953 when 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

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

that day was James Watson‚ who was particularly interested in finding out the structure of DNA. Soon after the conference Watson‚ who remembered just barely enough information‚ shared Rosalind’s findings with Francis Crick. With the information that he recalled they were able to create a scale 3D model of DNA; Watson hadn’t taken any notes during Rosalind’s presentation‚ so naturally some of the things he remembered were inaccurate which also led to the model being inaccurate. After Watson and Crick’s

This photo was a huge breakthrough‚ but in 1953 Franklin was planning on leaving the laboratory and Gosling showed Photo 51 to Wilkins.
