This exhibit will focus on Dr. James Watson, co-discoverer with Francis Crick of the DNA double helix, as a writer and will follow a timeline beginning with his boyhood. The exhibition will include letters to his family through his academic years, material from the University of Chicago Library collection, and his published books and papers reflecting his professional life. The exhibition will also include works by other scientists, such as Charles Darwin, who are of both literary and scientific importance.
