James Watson  

Définition

  • American scientist who shared the 1962 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine with Francis Crick and Maurice Wilkins for their discovery of the structure of DNA. Watson helped Crick and Wilkins to determine the molecular structure of nucleic acids, thus advancing the understanding of how genetic information is passed on. Starting with the attribution of the Nobel Prize, Watson's career has never eschewed controversy and the scientist's problematic views on genetically modified food, homosexuality, and genetic engineering have received wide press coverage.
