Discovery of the Structure of DNA On the last day of February in 1953, according to James Watson, Francis Crick announced to the patrons of the Eagle Pub in Cambridge, ?We have discovered the secret of life? (Watson 115, 1980). As Brian Hayes, the author of ?The Invention of the Genetic Code? states, ?If life ever had a secret, the double helix of DNA was surely it? (1). However, it was not the work of these two men alone that led to the discovery of the power the lies within the double helix, but rather the work of many scientists that was carefully picked apart and pieced together by the two who received the most fame for the work.
