摘要

James D. Watson, arguably the most famous scientist of the second half of the 20th century, passed away on November 6, 2025. He was the co-discoverer (with Francis Crick) of the double helix structure of DNA, which is widely considered the greatest biological discovery of the 20th century. He wrote the epoch-making book on the discovery’s story, pioneered methods in textbook writing, initiated and managed the US Human Genome Project; and developed Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory into a leading international biomedical research center. In the last phase of his life, he lost the respect of the research community due to his racist statements.
