Race for the Double Helix
Image
A month after President Eisenhower was inaugurated, one of the most important discoveries in the scientific field occurred. The discovery of DNA's chemical structure -- the double helix -- by Francis Crick and James Watson altered molecular biology forever. In this program, students will be introduced to scientists racing towards this discovery, as well as problem-solve to recreate the structure of DNA just as Watson and Crick did.
