"A Sharon Begley byline, almost 5 years after her death.

Upon hearing the news James Watson had died, a STAT reporter said in our Slack, "I wish I could read what Sharon would have written."

Incredible news: Sharon in fact did pre-write a Watson obit. And it is masterful and excoriating."

"With Rosalind Franklin’s X-ray images (which Watson surreptitiously studied), other scientists might have cracked the mystery.

Watson’s [made] his one and only important scientific discovery when he was only 25. His next act flopped."

We need to talk more of Rosalind Franklin.
