About this listen

James Dewey Watson (April 6, 1928-November 6, 2025) was an American molecular biologist, geneticist, and zoologist. Francis Harry Compton Crick (June 8, 1916-July 28, 2004) was an English molecular biologist, biophysicist, and neuroscientist. In 1953, Watson and Crick co-authored an academic paper in Nature proposing the double helix structure of the DNA molecule, building on research by Rosalind Franklin and Raymond Gosling. In 1962, Watson, Crick, and Maurice Wilkins were awarded the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine "for their discoveries concerning the molecular structure of nucleic acids and its significance for information transfer in living material." The following TV interview is from 1993.
