The following quotes reflect the attitudes and philosophies of the scientists involved in the discovery of the structure of the DNA. Write the letter of the scientist who might have said the following.
A. Watson or Crick B. Rosalind Franklin C. Maurice Wilkins
D. Sir Walter Bragg E. Professor Randall
_______ 1. What’s the point of science if it isn’t fun? It can’t be just cold reason. There
has to be excitement.
_______ 2. DNA is my province… How am I supposed to do any work on DNA when
she’s got the good DNA samples.
_______ 3. Science is like love… You can’t tell a man to love this woman or that
woman. You have to follow your heart.
_______ 4. I’d rather do one thing well than two things badly.
_______ 5. Evidence. Never trust evidence.
_______ 6. Sometimes I feel like an archeologist breaking into a sealed tomb. I don’t
want to touch anything; I just want to look.
_______ 7. I want everything above board here. We play with a straight deck. I don’t go
fishing in other people’s ponds and I’m not going to start now. Science is like a sport,
you see. You play by the rules of the game.
_______ 8. You know what I like about our work? It doesn’t matter if you’re happy or
unhappy, or whether you like or hate the results. You simply say, “So that’s how it is.”
_______ 9. I don’t like structure, lines of demarcation. Find a way of working together.
Don’t be the seawall; be the sea. Ebb and flow.
_______ 10. So we got it two thousand percent wrong. Anybody can make a mistake.
_______ 11. What’s the point of guessing if you haven’t got the data?
_______ 12. If I were DNA, that’s the way I’d do it.
_______ 13. Do you read mysteries? You don’t read the ending first; it spoils the book.
Satisfaction doesn’t come from knowing the solution; it comes from knowing why it’s the solution.
_______ 14. I knew it would be pretty.
_______ 15. It’s the brotherhood of science. You show me yours and I’ll show you mine.
_______ 16. All we wanted was the body and we’ve got the soul….. it never dies.
_______ 17. This thing is either a monster of complexity or it’s so simple we’re missing it.
_______ 18. Non-scientists think of science as universal, celestial; science is terrestrial,
territorial, political.
The story of the discovery of DNA structure illustrates the nature of science. Provide supporting evidence for this statement and include at least three different examples.
