Happy Birthday April 6

American molecular biologist and zoologist James Watson was born in Chicago, Illinois on April 6, 1928. Educated at the University of Chicago and Indiana University, Watson met British scientist Francis Crick at the University of Cambridge's Cavendish Laboratory in England. In mid-March 1953, Watson and Crick deduced the double helix structure of DNA. Their discovery was formally announced the next month in Nature magazine.
