Dynamic Duos of Science

by Matt Anniss

Watson and Crick are synonymous with DNA, the "instructions for life." But how did these scientists figure out something as elusive and complicated as the structure of DNA? Readers will learn about the different backgrounds of these two gifted scientists and what ultimately led them to each other. Their friendship, shared interests, and common obsessions held them together during the frenzied race to unlock the mysteries of DNA in the mid-twentieth century. Along with explanations about how DNA works, the repercussions of the dynamic duo's eventual discovery will especially fascinate young scientists.

'James Watson and Francis Crick' in the Dynamic Duos Of Science series was very helpful to me. They were the two men who worked out what DNA looked like. This book is an example that hard work and determination goes a long way.
