DEAR EDITOR,
Kaieteur News – I am grateful to your columnist, Freddie Kissoon, for enlightening me and your readers about James Watson’s deplorable and unscientific views on race expressed in his career after the early research which won him the Nobel Prize with Francis Crick.
I should have checked before recording my early memory of meeting Watson at Cambridge and would then have been able to give a truer picture.
The awful nonsense which Watson has expressed on race should of course be dismissed. The scientific community at large has declared its outrage. As Dr. Francis Collins, celebrated geneticist and Director of the National Institutes of Health in Maryland, in rejecting Watson’s scientifically untrue and “profoundly unfortunate” statements, has said “It is disappointing that someone who made such groundbreaking contributions perpetuates such unsupported and hurtful beliefs.”
Yours Sincerely,
Ian McDonald
