|content=I’ll have a lot to say about [[Jim Watson|Jim]] at some point. But let me share my usual quote before this space fills up with irrelevant comments.
“The legacy of [[Jim Watson|James Watson]] is so singular and profound, that it was always far too important to Western Science to have been entrusted to [[Jim Watson|Jim]].”

|content=Life’s eternal partnership: visualized.
[[Jim Watson|Jim]] did the Hydrogen Bonds across the inside.
[[Francis Crick|Francis]] discerned the SugarPhosphate Backbone along the outside.
Thus inextricably fusing themselves, and our two great nations, together forever.
RIP [[Jim Watson|Jim]]. Maybe the greatest man I’ve known.
