James Watson was a very interesting person. He grew up in a big city. Watson went to many different colleges. He discovered many things. Watson also won awards for his discoveries.
James Dewey Watson was born in Chicago, Illinois. Watson was born on April 6, 1928. He spent most of his childhood in Chicago. He went to Horce Mann Grammar School. Watson won a scholarship to the University of Chicago. Watson enrolled in the college at the age of 15.
Watson then received a Bachelor of Science degree in zoology. After that, he went to Indiana University in Bloomington. Watson was then engaged in research at the University of Copenhagen in Denmark. After that Watson became a Senior Research Fellow in Biology at the California Institute of Technology. A year passed then Watson moved to Harvard University then heto became become a Professor professor of Biologybiology.
Watson started by reading Erwin Schrodinger’s book: What is Life? The Physical Aspect of the Living Cell. This book interested him. The secrets of life were held by genes and chromosomes. Watson went with Salvador Luria to do a Ph.D. Whenever he went to do this he thought it would be a great time to work on some of these problems.
Watson went to Europe after he earned his Ph.D. He also went to Copenhagen and Cavendish Laboratory of the University of Cambridge. Watson did research and knew what the key of life was and it turned out to be DNA. He wanted to solve its structure. While he was doing all of this he was sharing an office with Francis Crick. Crick was also a Ph.D. student who was interested by the structure of DNA.
In The the year 1962, Watson won the Nobel Peace Prize. He won it for Physiology or Medicine. Watson shared his prize with Francis Crick, Maurie Wilk...

...He has invented several things. Watson was the professor of Biology at Harvard University. One thing he has invented was the DNA in the double-helix. Watson has published many books such as text books. One text book Watson has published is Molecular Biology of the Gene. Another book he has published is Molecular Biology of the Cell. There are more books that he has wrote. Watson has won many awards. One award he has won is the Nobel Peace Prize. He was interested in many things such as education and DNA. So James Dewey Watson is a very interesting person. There is a lot more things to learn about him. So look in books or look on the internet you could find facts about what he has done in his past and what he has discovered. You could also read some of the books that he has published so you could learn about the double-helix. So go and learn more about James Watson.
How does Conan Doyle present the character of Watson in the Sherlock Holmes stories? Conan Doyle was born on May 22, 1859, in Edinburgh and was educated at Stony Hurst College and the University of Edinburgh. From 1882 to 1890 he practiced medicine in Southsea, England. His first novel, A Study in Scarlet, the first of 60 stories featuring Sherlock Holmes, appeared in 1887. this helped boost the start of the crime genre.
James Monroe was born on April 28,1758 in Westmoreland County, Virginia, at this time Virginia was a British colony. He was the oldest son of five children, one sister and three brothers. They were the children of Elizabeth Jones Monroe and Spence Monroe. Spence Monroe was a farmer and a carpenter. When James was eleven he started to attend Campbelltown Academy. In 1774 when James Monroe was sixteen Spence Monroe died and James was left to manage the family property. James Monroe attended the college of William and Mary in Williamsburg the July after his father died.
Galileo Galilei was born in 1564, and was invested into science. Due to rumors in the year of 1609, about a Dutch who invented a device that zoomed in on distant objects (this was known as a spyglass earlier in the years, now its known as a telescope. He heard that a patent had been requested, but was not granted. There was a lot of value in this because the methods were kept secret, and this could be used in the military for Holland. Due to the rumors, Galilei was soon determined and driven to construct his own spyglass. Within 24 hours, only using his knowledge, experimentation, and pieces of the rumors, and never seeing the actual Dutch spyglass, Galilei soon found himself building a 3-power telescope. With some tweaks, he soon had a 10 power-telescope. From here, he demonstrated this it a Senate, and his salary was raised, and honored with proclamations. This shows how smart Galilei was, being able to construct his own telescope with nothing but his brain.
He was home schooled until the age of 13 and around 1900 enrolled in Kimball Union Academy. After graduating, Just attended Dartmouth College as the only black student, where he first studied Biology along with a plethora of other subjects and was the only student who graduated magna cum laude with many honors (“Ernest”1). He went on to receive a teaching position at Howard University, moving from English to Biology and worked his way up to becoming a professor of Biology. During the summer of 1909, Just began making yearly trips to the Marine Biological Laboratory in Woods Hole, Massachusetts, and it was here that Ernest first began a life-long career based on embryology and other similar areas (Echberg
The Watsons are a black family living in Flint, Michigan. The mother, Wilona, is from Birmingham, Alabama, but moved to Flint when she married Daniel, the father. Their three children are Byron, who is 13; Kenny, who is 10; and Joetta or "Joey," who is 5. Kenny is the protagonist of the story; he is very smart and relatively quiet. Byron is something of a juvenile delinquent and possesses a knack for breaking the rules, and Joey is a sensitive child and a strict rule-follower.
Francis Crick: He does the same research with Watson and they are both teammates. He is also eager to know what is in DNA and the relationship of it with the double-helix, but at the same time is disorganised, and expected Watson to do a majority of work.
Youth and Education== James Arthur Baldwin was born on August 2, 1924, in Harlem, New York. Emma Berdis Jones, his mother, bore him alone after leaving his biological, drug-abusing father and moving to Harlem to escape. She soon married David Baldwin, a local preacher and the family struggled in severe poverty. James Baldwin cared for his nine younger siblings growing up and suffered racial harassment from the police. His step-father treated him unkindly and abused him throughout his childhood as well.
As I searched over the numerous website and psychology books trying to figure out who to write on for this research paper I stumbles upon a famous quote that captures my attention swiftly.
Watson was an American psychologist that helped path the way for other researchers in psychology. He was born on January 9th, 1878, in South Carolina. His mother was devoted to religion and she pushed her ideals and morals onto him. She prohibited smoking, drinking, adultery, and other sinful acts. This led to Watson growing up hating religion and eventually, opposing it. Also, Watson was a delinquent when he was young, he was arrested twice and did poorly academically; but, with the help of his mother and her connections, it gave him an opportunity to attend Furman University of South Carolina. This gave him a second chance and he didn’t take it for granted. Watson graduated with a master’s when he was 21. After he finished his years in Furman University, he was presented with an offer from University of Chicago, for his graduates study in psychology. Once he finished his graduate degree, he stayed there as a research
Sir Alexander Fleming changed the world of medicine not only in his days but also in the world today. We have the medicines and antibiotics that we have today because of Alexander Fleming. His discovery was much needed in the world and I hate to think where we would be in the medicine world if he hadn’t discovered penicillin.
In the first several chapters of The Double Helix, James Watson gives detailed descriptions of the places and people who were of some importance in this charade of science. Watson wrote of his personal history and of how he arrived at the Cavendish Laboratory in Cambridge. In this laboratory was a yet-unknown thirty-five year old man named Frances Crick . When Watson joined the team at Cavendish it was to help continue studies on the structure of proteins. Some of the people in the lab that Watson mentioned were Sir Lawr...
After scoping out the DNA-research picture, Watson got a job at the Cambridge lab where Francis Crick, Max Perutz, and Sir Lawrence Bragg were working. Francis was rumored to be immodest and exceedingly talkative, at times irritating Bragg to the point of considering kicking him out of the lab. He was extremely enthusiastic about his work and eager to share his theories with anyone who would listen and intently studied and experimented with things that were important in the scientific world, perhaps only because they
Thomas Alva Edison is one of the most famous inventors. He saw many changes take place in his lifetime. His inventions were responsible for many of those changes. Some of his inventions were the telephone, the light bulb, the movie projector, and the phonograph. These inventions contributed to modern day, lights, movies, telephones, records and CDs. When Edison was born, there was no such thing as electricity, but by the time he died entire cities were lit by electricity (www.minot.k12.nd.us/edison.html).
Simply put, DNA contains the instructions needed for an organism to develop, survive, and reproduce. The discovery and use of DNA has seen many changes and made great progress over many years. James Watson was a pioneer molecular biologist who is credited, along with Francis Crick and Maurice Wilkins, with discovering the double helix structure of the DNA molecule. The three won the Nobel Prize in Medicine in 1962 for their work (Bagley, 2013). Scientists use the term “double helix” to describe DNA’s winding, two-stranded chemical structure.
Galileo was born in Pisa, Italy on February 15th, 1564. His father, Vincenzo was a music teacher and musician. After his family moved to Florence, Galilei was sent to a monastery to be educated. He was so happy there that he decided to become a monk, but his father wanted him to be a medical doctor and brought him home to Florence. He was never really interested in medicine and studied mathematics at the University of Pisa. He was especially interested in famous mathematicians like Euclid (geometry) and Archimedes. In fact in 1586 he wrote his first book about one of Archimedes theories. He eventually became head of mathematics at the University of Pisa where he first wrote about a very important idea that he developed. It was about using experiments to test theories. He wrote about falling bodies in motion using inclined planes to test his theories.
