What Members Thought
Reading this book, I felt as if I was reading Mad Men for science geeks. There is even a Peggy (Franklin). Watson is a product of his time in his suggestions that women are too emotional and then not emotional enough. Yet, he is hysterical. This retelling of how the structure of DNA was discovered is a rare and genuine glimpse into the entire process of science-- from the social interactions, to the hard science, and through to the politics of competition. FANTASTIC read!
A great book about Scientific discovery.
Dull, drab, un-interesting !
