What did Watson and Crick do after they discovered DNA?

Watson and Crick did not discover DNA - it had been isolated, then called nuclein, in 1869. What remained unknown was the structure of DNA - this is what Watson and Crick proposed. After they came up with a structure for DNA (1953), they went to 'The Eagle' pub in Cambridge, just round the corner from their lab, and Crick announced to the other customers that he and Watson had discovered 'the secret of life'. The Eagle now has a plaque commemorating the event. They also wrote a letter to Nature, though presumably not while at the pub. Watson and Crick did not discover DNA. What they did was examine the data collected by others, and propose a structure for the DNA molecule.


What was the scandal for Watson and Crick?

The Watson and Crick scandal was when James Watson and Francis Crick were trying to figure out the 3 dimensional structure of DNA. They came very close to discovering it when they discovered a fellow scientist named Rosalind Franklin had the data they needed. Instead of collaborating with her, Watson and Crick broke into her lab, stole her data, quickly figured out the structure, and did not give her any credit. When they won the Nobel Prize in 1962, they mentioned many names but her name was not on the list. Later, Watson openly admitted that they stole from Rosalind Franklin.


Where did Jame's Dewey Watson do his work?

Watson and Crick built their Nobel-prize winning model of DNA at the Cavendish Lab at Cambridge. However, the experimental data they used was done at King's College. Both of these universities are in Britain. Right now, Watson is the director of the Cold Spring Harbor lab in New York. This lab also has a history in famous genetics research. It was the site of the Hershey-Chase experiment and Barbara Mclintock's research. If you need more info, you should check out Watson's book, The Double Helix. Another good resource is Brenda Maddox's biography of Rosalind Franklin.

Who is responsible for the double helix model?

The people to discover (or create the first X-ray crystallographic IMAGE of the DNA double helix were Rosaline Franklin and her co-worker/assistant Mr. Wilkins. Actually she was the one to discover the shape by taking an xray of the DNA under a microscope, but her coworkers didn't like Franklin so they took the credit after her death. She discovered that the shape of DNA is a double helix. She deserves the real credit, but she did not get it because of her death and because she was a woman; she was believed to be less intellegent because she was a woman.More detailed description:Many people think that Watson, Crick, and Wilkins are the ones who discovered the structure of DNA, but they are wrong. Just because they won the Nobel Prize doesn't mean they deserved it. Roslin Franklin is really the one who discovered it, as also she made better gas masks at the time of the war, and discovered 2 viruses. Wilkins and Roslin hated each other because they both wanted to be in charge in the lab but neither wanted to step down to be an assistant so in the lab Roslin and Wilkins are both working seperatly to try and discovers the structure/shape of the DNA first. Watson and Crick made a model of DNA and Roslin Franklin proved their model totally wrong and Watson and Crick got fired by their boss. So both men were mad at Roslin and Watson was extremely jealous. Wilkins met up with his old buddies Watson and Crick and they talked about how "rude" Roslin Franklin was and called her a mean nickname "Rosey". Then Wilkins asked Roslin if he could see her work but she refused because she wanted to o further into her studies and not have other people messing with her information and discoveries. Roslin had already discovered the structure of DNA but was busy trying to learn more about it so she didn't report it, she had taken an x-ray of DNA in the shape of an X that she called Photo 51. In her notes she discribed how DNA was in a double-helix shape. Watson had snuck into her office and stolen her research papers stating the helix shape and PHOTO 51! So then he showed Wilkins and Crick and together they made a model of DNA and won an award they didn't deserve. However if it weren't for Watson's jealousy and mentioning how slyly he had stolen her info in his book The Double Helix no one would've none that Roslin Franklin had discovered it. She is now only today getting credit for it, Roslin had died from radiation sickness from all the x-rays she took no too long before The Double Helix was discovered.
