All’età di 97 anni è scomparso James Dewey Watson, biologo, genetista e biochimico statunitense che ricevette il premio Nobel per la medicina nel 1962 per le scoperte sulla struttura del Dna. Il 21 febbraio 1953, insieme al biochimico Francis Crick, intuì il modello tridimensionale a doppia elica della molecola del Dna e costruì un modellino in fil di ferro e cartone che fece storia: la prima rappresentazione, tra le maggiori scoperte della biologia del Novecento.

RIP Watson 🧬 The Hidden Hero Behind DNA’s Double Helix 🧬 Before Watson and Crick became famous, one woman’s X-ray photo held the secret — and her name was Rosalind Franklin. Her story deserves to be told. 💔✨ In the early 1950s, scientists were racing to uncover the structure of DNA — the molecule of life. At King’s College London, a brilliant X-ray crystallographer named Rosalind Franklin was quietly taking some of the most detailed images ever captured of DNA fibers. One of her photographs —
