This is extraordinary.

Sharon Begley, STAT’s senior science writer, died in 2021. But before she did, she wrote this clear-eyed, fair, and utterly damning obituary for DNA pioneer turned pariah James Watson, who died on Thursday, aged 97.

James Watson, co-discoverer of DNA’s double helix, left a scientific legacy that transformed genetics and medicine. Yet, his story is marred by persistent sexism and controversy. https://english.mathrubhumi.com/news/world/james-watson-dna-legacy-controversy-el5kvdjd?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=mastodon #JamesWatson #NobelPrize #DNA #doublehelix #sexism

American scientist #JamesWatson was a racist misogynist who who got a #NobelPrize for stealing Rosalind Franklin's notes.

Watson died yesterday, and his #obituaries are everywhere. So here's a simple way to test each #obit:

How far down do you have to read to learn that Watson was 1) #Racist, 2) #Misogynist, and 3) a #plagiarist of #RosalindFranklin's work?

The further these core facts are from the top, the more slavishly the obituarist is trying to sustain the myth of Watson's "greatness".

#JamesWatson is dead

He did not acknowledge #RosalindFranklin's role in the discovery of the #doubleHelix structure of #DNA, and he was a viciously racist, misogynistic, antisemitic, and homophobic asshole

Bye, shitbag

@gutenberg_org It should be noted that the mistakes in the structure of #DNA made by #LinusPauling were partially due to him only looking at sketches of the X-ray diffraction data collected by #RosalindFranklin (drawn by his nephew who was working with #JamesWatson and #FrancisCrick ).

#Pauling could not travel from #CalTech to #England because his passport had been revoked by the #US #StateDepartment for his #AntiNuclear (atmospheric testing) protests. CalTech also fired him!
