Nobel laureate James-Watson opens TED2005 with the frank and funny story of how he and his partner, Francis Crick, discovered the structure of DNA.
The tale is full of colorful details: How Watson had planned to be an ornithologist until Schroedinger's book What Is Life? transformed him into a geneticist. The painful rejections he suffered along the way, first from Caltech and then from a certain girl. And finally, how the basic DNA model came together.
