I see that James Watson, one of the scientists who discovered DNA's double helix, has passed away. I ran into him once when I was 23. I was working as a lab tech in a cell biology lab at Univ of North Carolina. My boss and I were traveling to Cold Spring Harbor labs to present a workshop. It was late. My boss pulled into a parking space in an empty lot opposite the dorm registration. We got our keys for our rooms and got back in the car. As we got ready to pull out, a car pulled in right next to us, with an old man scowling at us from behind the wheel. My boss said, "That's James Watson!" And that's when we noticed that we parked in the Cold Spring Harbor Lab Director's parking space... his parking space. https://lnkd.in/esUDGt9N
