Avoid Boring People
And other lessons from a life in science
James D. Watson looks back on his extraordinary career - from its beginnings as a schoolboy in Chicago's South Side to the day he left Harvard 50 years later, world-renowned as the co-discoverer of DNA - and considers the lessons he has learnt along the way. The result is both an engaging memoir and an insightful compendium of lessons in life.

In 1968, while retaining his position at Harvard, he became director of Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory (CSHL).
