Copernicus to the Present

W​‌‍‍‍‌‍‍‌‍‌‌‍‍‍‌‍‌‌‌‍​hat can we learn from James Watson’s account of the discovery of the double helix about the twentieth century scientist? Is the image of the scientist that Watson gives us different from scientists in past such as Boyle or Galileo? Does Watson represent the scientist ​‌‍‍‍‌‍‍‌‍‌‌‍‍‍‌‍‌‌‌‍​as the hero who is selflessly searching for truth? Is the kind of scientist Watson offers us an effective one? Is that all that matters? You can only use one source for this essay and it is the book, "Making Modern Science" by Peter J. Bowler and Iwan Rhys Mor​‌‍‍‍‌‍‍‌‍‌‌‍‍‍‌‍‌‌‌‍​us.
