molecular biologists

A joined biography of Watson and Crick who unlocked the mystery of DNA, focusing on their relationship and how they worked together as a team in their research.

Profiles the men and women at the forefront of the latest advances in biotechnology and explores how their research will impact human health in the future.

Reviews the lives and accomplishments of Francis Crick and James Watson, who are credited with solving much of the mystery of heredity by mapping the structure of DNA.

Describes the life and career of Rosalind Franklin, a British molecular biologist who played a vital role in the discovery of the structure of DNA.

Examines the life and accomplishments of twentieth-century scientists James Watson, an American zoologist, and Francis Crick, an English chemist, the men responsible for cracking the genetic code and discovering the molecular structure of DNA, and includes a time line, and a selection of primary source transcriptions and images.

A cloud of nanoparticles programmed as a predator and capable of self-reproduction escapes from a Nevada laboratory and makes the human population its target.

Explains how the work of scientists Max Delbr?ck and George Gamow in the 1940s and 1950s helped pave the way for modern geneticists and physicists, discussing their breakthroughs in understanding how parents transmit genetic traits to offspring and how stars generate energy and why their work was not recognized until much later.

Scientist James Watson shares the secrets he has learned throughout his career for getting along with others and getting ahead in highly competitive work settings, recounting how he managed to make friends and get ahead in the scientific world while researching the structure of DNA.
