Francis crick 
Born: 8 Jun1916
Died: 28 Jul 2004
Location of death: San diego california
Cause of death: Cancer -Colon  :( (poor guy) :P


was an english molecular biologist and neuroscientist, and most noted for being one of two co-discoverers of the structure of DNA molecule in 1953 together with James Watson










*Nobel Price The Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine*

















for their discoveries concerning the molecular structure  of nucleic acids and its significance for information transfer in living material he won the nobel prize *in 1962* with James Watson.... :S                                      

During the remainder of his career, he held the post of J.W. Kieckhefer Distinguished Research Professor at the salk Institute for biological studies 
in la jolla, california.

James Watson 
 
James Watson born April 6, 1928 is an American molecular biologist, geneticist, and zoologist, best known as one of the co-discoverers of the structure of DNA with Francis Crick 


In 1956, Watson became a junior member of harvard university's Biological Laboratories, holding this position until 1976, promoting research in molecular biology. Between 1988 and 1992, Watson was associated with the national Institutes of help, helping to establish the Human genome project .Watson has written many science books, including the seminal textbook The Molecular Biology of the Gene *1965* and his bestselling book the double helix*1968* about the DNA structure discovery.



Book : The Double Helix


In 1968, Watson wrote The Double Helix  one of the modern Library's100 best Nonfiction book\- The account is the sometimes painful story of not only the discovery of the structure of DNA but the personalities, conflicts and controversy surrounding their work. Watson's original title was to have been Honest Jim in that the book recounts the discovery of the double helix from his point of view and included many of his private emotional impressions at the time. The book changed the way the public viewed scientists and the way they work






















Barbara McClintock


June 16, 1902 and SHE! die September 2, 1992 *ja!*
the 1983 Nobel Laureate in physiology  was an American scientist and one of the world's most distinguished cytogenetics (If you don't know what is cytogenetics ! :P)


She studied Chromosomes and  how they change during reproduction in maize
she developed theories to explain the repression or expression of genetic information from one generation of maize plants to the next....
