These scientists' names are James Watson, Rosalind Franklin and Francis Crick.

On Feb. 28, 1953, Francis Crick walked into a pub called Eagle in Cambridge, England, and said that "we had found the secret of life." And they had.

The British Crick, at 35, still had no Ph.D. The American Watson, 12 years Crick's junior, graduated from the University of Chicago at 19 and received his doctorate at the age of 22. Crick had migrated from physics into chemistry and biology and Watson had studied ornithology, and then doing postdoctoral work in Europe, took another career change. In King's College in London, there was a woman named Rosalind Franklin that was creating the world's best X-ray diffraction photos of the
