Crick : a mind in motion - from DNA to the brain
Cobb, Matthew2025
Books
Francis Crick was a restless, relentless thinker, as fascinated by Beat poetry and psychedelics as the genetic meaning of life and the inner workings of the brain. Yet for all his drive, he was driven by collaboration: with Jim Watson on DNA, with artists in Cambridge and California, and with his wife Odile, who drew the figure of the double helix that illuminated his most famous discovery. It was his debates and conflicts with these collaborators that powered a mind in motion. Meticulously researched and shot through with insight and electrifying detail, Matthew Cobb reveals the man who changed our view of life forever.
