James D Watson, co-discoverer of DNA’s twisted-ladder structure, dies aged 97
Nobel prize winner shaped medicine, crimefighting and genealogy but later years marred by racist remarks
James D Watson, whose co-discovery of the twisted-ladder structure of DNA in 1953 helped light the long fuse on a revolution in medicine, crimefighting, genealogy and ethics, has died, according to his former research lab. He was 97.
The breakthrough – made when the brash, Chicago-born Watson was just 24 – turned him into a hallowed figure in the world of science for decades.

While coding transcripts, I’ve seen a gap between social justice education’s target students in HEIs and the diverse learners they serve. Strategies must differ for those long exposed to these ideas versus newcomers from conservative backgrounds. Change is possible, but slow.

Interesting research finding: when trying to reduce prejudice, the how matters as much as the what. Coercive approaches can sometimes backfire. New post exploring the psychology of persuasion and a frustrating academic story.
