Í dag köfum við í erfðafræði og vísindasagnfræði – nóbelsverðlaunahafinn James Watson, sem hlaut nóbelinn árið 1962, ásamt þeim Francis Crick og Maurice Wilkins, fyrir uppgötvanir sem tengdust uppbyggingu DNA – lést á dögunum. Hann var síðasti eftirlifandi meðlimur þessa þríeykis. En ferill þessa merkilega manns er áhugaverður og gríðarlega umdeildur – í dag setjumst við niður með Arnari Pálssyni erfðafræðingi við Háskóla Íslands til að setja feril hans í samhengi og átta okkur á hvað hann getur sagt okkur um stöðu erfðafræðinnar og jafnvel vísindanna í nútímasamfélagi. Við fáum líka pistil frá Stefáni Gíslasyni, föstum pistlahöfundi Samfélagsins. Í dag veltir hann fyrir sér COP30-loftslagsráðstefnunni, sem – eins og hlustendur Samfélagsins vita vel – fer fram þessa dagana í Belem í Brasilíu. Tónlist úr þættinum: Marling, Laura - Patterns. Stereolab - The free design. Nick Drake - Hazey Jane I

Ragnhild Ørstavik deler siste nytt fra andre vitenskapelige tidsskrifter. James Watson – en av de to som oppdaget DNAets dobbeltheliks – etterlater seg et kontroversielt ettermæle (1). Ny kombinasjonsbehandling mot malaria viser lovende resultater i en stor afrikansk studie (2, 3). Det er ikke påvist noen sikker sammenheng mellom bruk av paracetamol under svangerskapet og utvikling av ADHD eller autismespekterforstyrrelser (4, 5). Screening for familiær hyperkolesterolemi ser ikke ut til å lønne seg, folkehelsetiltak gir bedre effekt (6–8). Vet du hva MASDL er? Det rammer nå omtrent 30 % av verdens befolkning (9, 10). Kan GLP-1-hemmere også brukes til å behandle alkoholbrukslidelser (11)? Britiske leger streiker for fremtidens NHS (12), og en personlig historie minner oss på hvorfor vaksiner fortsatt er livsviktige (13).

James Watson died, and brilliant as his contribution to science was, he also had some very problematic views on race and women. The Church of Scientology seems to be in decline even if they try their best to deny it, claiming huge (but questionable) numbers on their recent big conference. We are happily surprised to see a very nice article about ourselves in the Skeptical Inquirer (thanks Susan!) and in TWISH we hear about the founding of the Pasteur Institute and what an impact it has had on science.

On this week's episode, John Maraganore, Yaron Werber, Ami Fadia, and special guests STAT's Allison DeAngelis and Endpoints News' Drew Armstrong kick things off with an overview of the latest FDA staffing changes, including long-time oncology chief Richard Pazdur's appointment as the new CDER director, a move the co-hosts view as positive for the industry and a sign of potential stability. Next, the group breaks down the FDA's new ‘Plausible Mechanism Pathway', designed to accelerate certain personalized therapies to market when traditional trials aren't feasible. Allison then shares insights from her reporting on the exclusive MAHA Summit held earlier this week -- an invite-only gathering of top HHS officials and leading biotech executives. In data news, the co-hosts discuss Alkermes' Phase 2 narcolepsy trial, Cogent's Phase 3 gastrointestinal stromal tumor results, and CRISPR's cholesterol data. As one bidding war ends, another begins as Alkermes' move to acquire Avadel faces competition from Lundbeck, who offered a $2.25 billion, rivaling Alkermes' initial $2.1 billion offer. Drew Armstrong also overviewed his reporting on the Novo Nordisk-Pfizer bidding war, noting both companies' obesity setbacks and their search for new directions. Deal-making conversations continues with Merck's $9.2 billion acquisition of Cidara Therapeutics, and Day One Therapeutics' $285 million acquisition of Mersana Therapeutics. The episode concludes with a discussion on the passing of genetic pioneer James Watson and Eli Lilly CEO David Ricks' appearance on The Cheeky Pint podcast. *This episode aired on November 14, 2025.

President Trump grants Hungary a one-year exemption from US sanctions on Russian oil and gas purchases during a visit to the White House by his right wing ally, Hungarian Prime Minister, Viktor Orban. The sanctions were introduced in response to Russia's invasion of Ukraine. Also: Senators fail to agree a compromise to pay essential federal workers, including air traffic controllers, during the US Government shutdown; more than 200 people have been charged with treason after protests against the disputed election in Tanzania; Nobel Prize-winning American scientist James Watson, one of the co-discoverers of the structure of DNA, has died aged 97; and archaeologists have compiled the most detailed map yet of the roads that criss-crossed the Roman Empire from Great Britain to North Africa.

Addio a James D. Watson.

Le généticien et biochimiste américain James Watson vient de mourir à l'âge de 97 ans. Il avait reçu en 1962 le prix Nobel, « pour une découverte qui a donné le coup d'envoi de la révolution génétique », raconte le quotidien français Le Monde. Il était le découvreur de la « structure en double hélice de la molécule d'ADN, porteuse de notre patrimoine héréditaire ». « Avec lui, disparaît un des derniers géants de la science du XXème siècle ». Seulement voilà, poursuit le Monde, « Cet héritage est entaché par des postures racistes, sexistes et eugénistes ». « Le docteur Watson », précise le Washington Post, « a défendu sans relâche la théorie discréditée du déterminisme génétique et l'idée que les Noirs étaient intellectuellement inférieurs ». Allant même jusqu'à dire « que s'il avait un jour espéré que tous les êtres humains soient égaux, ceux qui travaillent avec des employés noirs constatent que ce n'est pas le cas ». Voilà pourquoi La Croix parle, elle aussi, d'un « pionnier de l'ADN à la réputation ternie ». Le journal catholique précise que James Watson avait également « soulevé l'indignation en estimant qu'une femme devrait avoir le droit d'avorter si des tests pouvaient déterminer que son enfant à naître serait homosexuel et qu'elle ne le souhaitait pas ». Autant de déclarations qui ont jeté l'opprobre sur James Watson, « le contraignant, à l'âge de 80 ans à démissionner du laboratoire où il travaillait depuis 40 ans ». Ni guerre, ni paix Quelle est vraiment la situation aujourd'hui en Syrie ? Question posée par le quotidien allemand Die Welt, qui répond lui-même : « Ce n'est pas la guerre, mais ce n'est pas la paix non plus », alors que le chancelier Merz a récemment déclaré « qu'il n'y avait absolument plus de raison de demander l'asile en Allemagne ». « Par conséquent » conclut die Welt, « les expulsions vers la Syrie peuvent recommencer ». Or, l'envoyé spécial du quotidien allemand s'est rendu à Qamishli, dans le nord de la Syrie, où il a rencontré une famille de huit personnes vivant dans une « bâtisse délabrée ». La famille Hamdan « appartient à la minorité alaouite, tout comme l'ancien dictateur Bachar el-Assad ». « Trois mois après sa chute, la population alaouite a été victime de massacres », rappelle Die Welt. Le père de famille raconte : « ils ont pillé notre maison, volé nos voitures, enlevé et assassiné des voisins ». Aujourd'hui, poursuit le journal, « un retour est encore hors de question. De nouvelles atrocités font quotidiennement la Une des journaux ». « J'ai entendu dire que l'Allemagne veut renvoyer les réfugiés syriens », s'étonne Bilal, le fils, qui s'exclame : « Chers compatriotes, ne revenez pas en Syrie, ce n'est pas un pays sûr ».  Épais brouillard La défense de l'environnement et la COP de Belém au Brésil, font la Une du journal El Païs. Le Premier ministre espagnol Pedro Sanchez a déclaré à Belém : « le changement climatique a fait plus de 20 000 victimes en Espagne, en cinq ans ». « Il a notamment évoqué les pluies torrentielles dévastatrices qui ont fait 229 morts à Valence, en Espagne, et les vagues de chaleur incessantes », poursuit El Païs. Mais Pedro Sanchez se veut optimiste et fait une promesse « à ceux qui croient en la science, vous pouvez compter sur l'Espagne ». Pendant ce temps, loin du Brésil, l'Inde tente de s'organiser face aux incessantes vagues de pollution. L'Hindustan Times publie aujourd'hui « le palmarès des dix villes indiennes présentant la plus mauvaise qualité de l'air ». « Un épais brouillard persiste sur plusieurs régions du nord de l'Inde, notamment la capitale New Delhi », explique le journal. « Les experts en santé continuent d'exhorter les habitants, et notamment les enfants, les personnes âgées et celles souffrant de problèmes respiratoires, à limiter leur exposition au soleil » susceptible d'aggraver les conséquences pour leur santé. Une simple mise en garde face à un phénomène immaîtrisable.

The longest shutdown in US history became even more severe today as hundreds of flights were cancelled by the federal government to reduce strain on air traffic controllers, who haven't been paid for five weeks. We hear from travellers, airport staff and a Republican congressman on the growing political pressure to find a deal in Congress that would end the government shutdown.Also on the programme: one of the pioneers of artificial intelligence tells us why he's profoundly concerned about the potential harm from the technology. And the geneticist who co-discovered DNA, James Watson, has died aged 97. We hear from a lifelong friend.

Conoció la celebridad internacional por descubrimientos que forman parte de la historia de la ciencia moderna, pero cayó en desgracia por comentarios que vinculaban sin sustento inteligencia y raza.

Composer Peter Hugh White and librettist Clare Heath join host Rosie Millard in front of a London audience to explore why the story of chemist and x-ray crystallographer Rosalind Franklin and the race to uncover the structure of DNA makes such a compelling subject for an opera.We hear excerpts that capture the contrasting personalities at the centre of this scientific drama — James Watson, the brash young researcher at the University of Cambridge; Francis Crick, his more measured collaborator; and Maurice Wilkins, an anxious biophysicist uneasy about being outshone by his brilliant colleague, Franklin.It's a story of ambition, rivalry, and betrayal: Franklin's departure from King's College London and the subsequent publication of the double helix model by Watson and Crick, which was built on insights from her work — yet without giving her due recognition.

In this episode James Watson comes on to talk about his work with Tomistoma (i.e. the Sunda Gharial). We talk about his research work, some of the interesting aspects of Tomistoma natural history, what threats Tomistoma face going into the future, and palm oil plantations. Bryant also joins us as a co-host, and we do briefly touch on herping in Sarawak. Enjoy!

This episode began with a discussion of 2009 as a watershed year before major belief in diseases tied to genetics began to be replaced by ones tied to mitochondria, food and the role of insulin. Michael Krasny brought up the link of diabetes to genetics and Dr. Bob Lustig indicated that the causation factor is only 15%, whereupon he talked about genes and obesity and different kinds of fat and fat and sugar followed by Krasny asking his reaction to the appointment of Robert F Kennedy Junior as the head of HHS. Dr. Lustig revealed that he refused an offer to head NIH.A listener asked Dr. Lustig about glyphosate in the food supply and another about processed food in school lunches, which prompted Krasny to ask about processed and ultra-processed food. Dr. Lustig spoke of food industry strategies and the USDA. Krasny then asked him about eating habits and lifespan in Japan as well as fructose and calories and Dr. Lustig spoke about body temperature being down in the U.S. and a connection to mitochondrial dysfunction. Krasny went back to an interview he did with Nobel laureate James Watson in which Watson mentioned longevity and his Norwegian mitochondria and Krasny then asked Lustig about sugar and fruit, which prompted Lustig to pinpoint sugar as a primary cause of Alzheimer's and to speak about ways to mitigate fructose. Lustig then spoke of the effects of sugar in a 1953 UK study which followed sugar rationing. Michael Krasny brought up arguments against "the demonization of sugar" and seeing it as toxic and addictive and Dr. Lustig responded with an adamant defense of the dangers of sugar, including its addictive power and its toxicity.

Deciphering the structure of DNA was as complex as the double helix itself. On 28th February, 1953, Dr. James Watson and Dr. Francis Crick rushed to the pub and announced to their fellow drinkers in The Eagle, Cambridge that they had just found “the secret of life”.  But their work would not have been possible without the uncredited contribution of Dr. Rosalind Franklin - whose photographs of the X-ray diffraction pattern of DNA were the first to reveal its three-dimensional structure. And it was her colleague, Dr Maurice Wilkins, who first brought Franklin's work to the attention of Watson and Crick. In this episode, Arion, Rebecca and Olly consider how it came to be that Crick's wife, Odile; drew the iconic depiction of the structure published in Nature; explain why *technically* Dr Franklin didn't even have a degree; and recall how James Watson's legacy was tainted by his bitter and snide memoir, ‘The Double Helix'...  Further Reading: • ‘Double-Helix Structure of DNA' (ThoughtCo, 2020): https://www.thoughtco.com/double-helix-373302 • ‘The Geek Atlas - 128 Places Where Science and Technology Come Alive, By John Graham-Cumming' (O'Reilly Media, 2009): https://www.google.co.uk/books/edition/The_Geek_Atlas/rXH0AQAAQBAJ?hl=en&gbpv=1&dq=crick+watson+eagle+1953&pg=PA267&printsec=frontcover • ‘Rosalind Franklin: DNA's unsung hero - Cláudio L.

Lots to discuss on the pod today. As you know we're filming the pod for YouTube, and this is week two. We're still ironing out the bugs, and we had a big bug this week, so no YouTube show this week - but we'll sort it for next week.Onto the pod - Mark bumped into Marc Leishman a day or so ago, after Marc played in Warrnambool at the weekend with his Dad and Son. Nick and Mark discuss Marc's near win at St Andrews, and other Aussie performances at the venue.Nick and Mark reveal why pros never ask another pro how they played, apparently one of the unwritten rules of being a pro is to never tell other pros about your round.We discuss the likelihood, or not, of LIV players being welcomed into The Players Championship in March. Outside of those already exempt, will they be welcomed in? Mark asks Nick if there will be room made for them. What about PING's Brian Campbell winning the Mexican Open. His first win in 178 events. And he did it in well, perhaps with a bit of luck on one hole in the playoff.Nick and Mark discuss chipping with a strong top hand grip, which some players do, but it is rare, and not ideal. Mark puts Nick on the spot to say what current tour pros have an orthodox, or unorthodox swing.

On November 16, 1979, Boston, MA cab driver Jeffrey Boyajian was killed after suffering five gunshots to the head. Another cab driver came forward claiming to have seen the crime, and through various questionable hypnotic sessions he identified James Watson and his 16 year old co-defendant Frederick Clay as the killers. Despite a total lack of physical evidence tying James to the crime, he was convicted of first degree murder and sentenced to life in prison without parole.

Since the discovery of the double helix by Francis Crick, James Watson and Rosalind Franklin in the 1950s, human knowledge of DNA and genetics has grown almost immeasurably. We now know that genes affect every aspect of our lives, from our appearance, our health and even our personality. But more than this, our genes are a living document of our evolutionary past, an ancient document that, if read properly, can reveal almost everything about how we came to be how we are. In this episode, we're joined by the evolutionary biologist and multi-million selling author Richard Dawkins to speak about his latest book The Genetic Book of the Dead: A Darwinian Reverie. He tells us how different species of animals hit on the same evolutionary strategies despite being separated by multiple continents, how natural selection doesn't necessarily always follow the perfect path and how a scientist of the future may one day be able to read the genetic code of any living animal like a book to uncover its entire evolutionary past.

Oh geez this could be dangerous as these two drink a beer and sound off on all things bass fishing... For those who don't know, James "JMFW" Watson is currently suspended from Major League Fishing's Bass Pro Tour until Santa comes in 2025 to restore his fishing privileges. As James tells it, his love of fishing boat docks was his undoing. Watch this bass fishing video discussion to see what gets stirred up, warning, it could get messy!

Charles Darwin's revolutionary observations of Galapagos tortoises and finches, explored how natural selection allows species to adapt over time. From the discovery of the hawk moth in Madagascar, predicted by Darwin, to the groundbreaking discovery of DNA by Rosalind Franklin, Francis Crick, and James Watson, we look at how genetic changes drive evolution.
