James Dewey Watson, whose co-discovery of the twisted-ladder structure of DNA in 1953 helped launch a revolution in biology and medicine, died Thursday at age 97. He died in hospice care after a brief ...

The names Francis Crick and James Watson are synonymous with the discovery of the structure of DNA. But “justice” can finally be done by revealing the full role of a third person in the breakthrough, ...
