How many of us have undertaken a DNA test to see if we can nail down some ancestors or make connections with living relatives?
Well, we would not have been able to without the work of Francis Crick, who was born today 8th June, back in 1916. Best known for his work with James Watson, they were awarded the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine in 1962.
Crick and Watson walked into the Eagle Public House in Cambridge at midday on 28th February 1953 and announced, “We have discovered the secret of life.” This is commemorated on a blue plaque next to the entrance. The men regularly lunched in the pub, sitting at the same table, and there are now two more plaques by there as well. If ever you are down that way, you might want to quaff a glass or two of their commemorate beer, named “Eagles’ DNA”.
