Sad News
One of the brightest lights of 20th century science has been extinguished. Francis Crick, physiology Nobelist and co-discoverer (with James Watson) of the double helical structure of DNA, died last night after a long battle with cancer.
While most people know Crick for his work on DNA, for much of the latter half of the last century he worked in neuroscience and consciousness studies. But whether he is remembered for his efforts to unlock the secrets of the mind or for his pioneering work on the structure of genetic material, Crick is unquestionably one of the greatest scientific minds of this or any age.
Here's a quick biography of Crick from the Nobel site.
