In the wake of James Watson's death, I tried really, really hard to come up with something to say. And all I really had to say was: we really fucked up with treating this guy like a hero. Watson sold the world a bill of goods. For @sequencermag.bsky.social.

James Watson sold the idea of himself
How much could a man like Watson, an unrepentant racist, really understand about what DNA is?
