Process 1947 to 1950, she worked at the Laboratories Central (Services Chimiques de L'Etat) in Paris. In 1951, she returned to England and worked in the lab at King's College in Cambridge. It was there that she was given the responsibility for the DNA project and she worked somewhat awkwardly with Maurice Wilkins. Rosalind almost cracked the DNA code, but Wilkins gave some of her DNA pictures to James Watson and Francis Crick, and they solved it. Rosalind moved to a lab at Birkbeck College where she studied the tobacco mosaic virus and the polio virus.

For their discoveries concerning the molecular structure of nucleic acids.

Process James Watson became a Senior Research Fellow in Biology at the California Institute of Technology. The following year he moved to Harvard University, where he became Professor of Biology, a post he held until 1976. In 1968 Watson published his account of the DNA discovery, “ The Double Helix” . The book became an international best-seller, but some in the scientific community were scandalized. James Watson insisted that devotion to the truth was as essential in writing for the general public as it is in scientific research.

A self-taught experimenter, he devised simple but effective apparatuses for his well-planned tests. Although authors have emphasized the crudeness of his results, much of his data is remarkably accurate.

John Dalton (September 6, 1766 - July 27, 1844)

the English teacher (chemist, and physicist)

Best known for developing the ancient concept of atoms into a scientific theory that has become a foundation of modern chemistry.

A self-taught experimenter, he devised simple but effective apparatuses for his well-planned tests.

Although authors have emphasized the crudeness of his results, much of his data is remarkably accurate.

Process Around 1790, Dalton have considered taking up law or medicine, but his projects were not met with encouragement from his relatives. Mainly through John Gough, a blind philosopher to whom he owed much of his scientific knowledge, Dalton was appointed teacher of mathematics and natural philosophy at the Manchester Academy. He remained in that position until the college's relocation to York in 1803, when he became a public and private teacher of mathematics and chemistry.

Lifespan Died in Manchester in 1844 of paralysis. The first attack he suffered in 1837 and a second in 1838 left him with a speech impediment, though he remained able to make experiments. In May 1844, he had another stroke. On July 26 he recorded with trembling hand his last meteorological observation, and on the 27th he fell from his bed and was found lifeless by his attendant. Dalton was buried in Manchester in Ardwick cemetery (now a playing field) .
