- streptomycin 12y agoWatson and Crick were a young postdoc and a PhD student. If credit went to the PI in that case, it would have gone to Bragg who was the head of the lab they worked in.
- peterfirefly 12y agoMaybe it's a reference to the guy they shared the prize with?
- ninguem2 12y ago"Head of lab" is not appropriate. The Cavendish Laboratory (which Bragg indeed headed) is/was the equivalent of a whole department or institute (of experimental physics, chemistry and biology). The head of the actual lab that they worked for, who was Watson postdoctoral mentor and Crick's PhD advisor, was Max Perutz.
