When Watson and Crick were working on the structure of DNA, they used Rosalind Franklin's discovery (she was working on X-Ray diffraction of the crystallized substance) that the molecule was helical in their work but failed to credit her contribution properly in their papers/books. Only they can answer as to why they did this, but morally it is forever to their shame.

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.
