James D. Watson

James was born on December 23, 1856. He was the son of Washington and Artelia Duke. James's father Washington was a tobacco industrialist and philanthropist that fought in the Civil War and his mother Artelia was a German immigrant. James grew up on a small farm in Durham, North Carolina. During the Civil War, their farm was ravaged by the Union troops and they seized their tobacco barrels and crops.

James W. Marshall was born in 1810 in New Jersey. His parents were Philip Marshall and Sarah Wilson. He had three other siblings and was the oldest. He was the only boy, all of his siblings were girls. In 1816 James’ dad had five acres of land and built a house on it. James was a carpenter and

The discovery of deoxyribonucleic acid, more commonly known as DNA, has been the foundation for much scientific work. This fundamental discovery was credited to James Watson and Francis Crick. Many people believe that another person, Rosalind Franklin, also played a large role in the research. How much did she contribute to the discovery? Why is her name left unrecognized? This paper will discuss her part in the search and whether her name should appear next to Watson's and Crick's as the co-discoverer of DNA.

Holmes Early life started out, May 16, 1961 in Gilmanton, New Hampshire. He was raised in a devout methodist family. Although Holmes was very intelligent in his early ages, he was bullied as a child. Which also caused him to find the love of medicine and the human body.

Over the course of the modern age, the human body was still a mystery waiting to be solved. The body contains secrets one can only hope to discover. Over the twentieth century, scientists tried to understand one of the most complex concepts in the biological field. DNA (Deoxyribonucleic acid) was at the forefront of research. Several theories claimed to have solved the structural concept of DNA. However, it was not until Francis Crick and James D. Watson discovered the true structure, the double helix. However, many potential models of DNA had passed through the biology field until eventual lose of credibility. The past models would contain a fixed detail that would make the entire concept invalid. In James D. Watson book, The Double Helix, he illustrates his path amid incorrect theories until he reaches the model that is taught around the world today.

James Eagan Holmes’ early upbringing was rather quiet and simple. He was raised in California; his father was a mathematician and his mother was a registered nurse. Holmes also has a sister. Many accounts, described him as smart, shy, performed

James Dewey Watson was born on April 6, 1927, in Chicago Illinois. In all of Watson's childhood, he stayed in Chicago. In James early years, he attended an elementary school called Horace Mann Grammar School. One of James’s favorite hobbies was studying birds, and watching birds fly by. After Elementary school, Watson went to a high school called south shore high school in Chicago. After going to high school for two years, he received a tuition scholarship to the university of Chicago. Then in the summer of 1943 Watson entered the university of Chicago's experimental four year college. At a young age until his adult years James Watson always dreamed of being a “hero”. Then, in 1947, James Watson earned a B.Sc. degree in Zoology.

Michael C. James Sr. is the Retention of Success Coordinator, School of Education and Urban Studies at Morgan State. Mr. James was born in Chicago, IL in 1960 however, was raised by his mother in Rochester, New York.

On May 16, 1861 Holmes was born in Gilmanton, New Hampshire to parents Levi Horton Mudgett and Theodate Page Price. Holmes's parents were devout Methodists and farmers, although his father was a violent alcoholic. Holmes was very intelligent and did well in school, which caused many of his classmates

Something James is so eagerly craving to win towards being the first to solve the structure of DNA. The fact that Watson feels the need to bring a scientist who is well known and substantially knowledgably down, expresses the jealousy, which significantly shows the characteristic of a common bully. Thus, Watson should have instead been wiser with his choice of words, this would have not enthused readers to thinking this behaviour is appropriate in such a educated field. And would have focused more on the matter of the book; discovering the structure of

In three days the world will end. In two days James will meet and fall in love with a girl running from her past. In one day the Master of Death will be brought to life and the Devil can't wait to play with him.

Lashley attained a major achievement by graduating high school at the age of 14. After high school Lashley enrolled in the University of West Virginia. When he first started there he chose to major in English. However, Lashley changed his major to zoology. Lashley began teaching biology at University of Pittsburgh soon after he got his Bachelor of Arts degree at the University of West Virginia. When Lashley finished his master’s degree he started to study at Johns Hopkins University, once there he gained his Ph.D degree in genetics. Lashley became a professor at the University of Minnesota, University of Chicago, and Harvard University after he got his Ph.D.

What all of these early geneticists did that leave me in awe is that they proposed an idea that was not only out there, but also putting their reputation on the line. Today, in school specifically, students are taught to avoid the abstract ideas that don’t have the purpose or evidence to support it. That's why I find myself dumbfounded, because that is exactly what these geneticists did. I'm dumbfounded not because of their contributions to their field or their complex ideas, what I find amazing is that these scientists tried to change the status quo with ideas that seemed completely irrational, in a world where immediate change is unwelcomed. What I believe the most valuable thing for everyone to take away from this section is that sometimes the seemingly irrational thinking that others consider nonsense or moronic, is exactly what the world needs to progress in every field of study: science, math, technology, philosophy, music, world politics, and even broader ideas, like leadership, happiness, and

In “The Double Helix” by J.D. Watson he tells the story as to how he and Francis Crick discovered the structure of DNA. After reading this book I was able to see how the structure of DNA was discovered since I didn't really have a lot of knowledge as to who discovered DNA besides what the biology book briefly talked about. During this time there was not a lot of people interested in DNA but for the people that were it was almost like a race to see who could discovered it first. Through the book one of their most fierce competition would have to be Maurice Wilkins and Rosalind Franklin. Thanks to their research Watson and Crick were able to discover the structure of DNA first.

Rosalind Franklin’s work on DNA was crucial in discovering the composition of the human body as a whole. Her x-ray photo revealed a double helix structure and she also discovered the A and B form of DNA. She worked through the adversity of being a female in a predominately male dominated realm and made remarkable findings that were eventually stolen. She adapted to a new lab with antiquated technology. Before this discovery, the structure of DNA was thought to be simple. Scientist, Watson and Crick, started with the wrong structure of DNA from a misinterpretation of notes from one of Franklin’s presentations. Unlike Watson and Crick, Rosalind Franklin could explain DNA and how it worked.
