The 3rd Annual Arno & Gretel Motulsky lecture was held on Wednesday July 27th 2011; our speaker was genetics pioneer and Nobel Laureate James D. Watson. Dr. Watson, together with the late Francis Crick, discovered the structure of DNA in 1953 and, with Crick and Maurice Wilkins, received the 1962 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine. Today he is chancellor emeritus of the Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory. The lecture honors Emeritus Professor Arno G. Motulsky, founder of the Division of Medical Genetics, and the late Mrs. Motulsky.
