These books are to help my students learn a few things. They will learn about the passion and the excitement around determining the structure of DNA. They will read from James Watson's own perspective his descriptions of Rosalind Franklin and what he thought of her. They will learn to read between the lines, and understand how implicit biases have framed one of the greatest stories of modern science. Students often are taught how science is apolitical, and scientists always seem to be these moral, upstanding figures in history. Students need to know more about the people and the processes of science, and how centuries of biases and racism has framed what we research and how we research. This book is the beginning of such lessons for my students. Paired with other articles and writings of James Watson and other scientists, students will practice literacy skills to help make them critical readers of information.
