The Dark Lady of DNA

BBC Radio 3
on BBC Radio 3

History records that Francis Crick, James Watson, and Maurice Wilkins found the secret of life by unravelling the structure of DNA.

Professor Lewis Wolpert conducts an inquiry into the discovery of the double helix. Contributors include Aaron Klug, Francis Crick, Maurice Wilkins and Raymond Gosling
