...stint on the Manhattan Project during World War II, he turned his attention from physics to biology. With his colleague Rosalind Franklin at King's College in London, he came up with a clear X-ray image of DNA. Within weeks of receiving the photograph, James Watson and Francis Crick built a model of the giant molecule's double spiral structure. Wilkins shared the Nobel Prize for Medicine with Watson and Crick in 1962. DIED.

Meselson, 74, is best known for the 1958 Meselson-Stahl experiment, taught in biology classes around the world. The experiment showed that when DNA is separated into two strands, new strands are synthesized to match the old—an idea that was proposed by Watson and Crick, but not proven until Meselson’s experiment...
...experiment, it confirmed that sort of throw-away statement in the Watson-Crick model,” said Gund Professor of Neuroscience John Dowling, who sat on the Lasker awards committee between 2000 and 2003. “Many people have talked about this as one of the most beautiful experiments in biology...

Watson referred to Crick's longtime hostility to religious revelation and said his colleague viewed religion as "perpetuating mistakes from the past." Watson wrote that...
