BM&L COMMEMORATES FRANCIS CRICK

 

 

Francis Crick died the 28th of July 2004, after a long battle with colon cancer. The New York Times wrote two days later: “Francis H. C. Crick, co-discoverer of the structure of DNA, the genetic blueprint for life, and the leading molecular biologist of his age, died on Wednesday night in a hospital in San Diego. He was 88.

The idea itself of BRAIN MIND & LIFE came from a Francis Crick’s inspiration. Francis Crick, along with Gerald Edelman, represented our major scientific authority.

BM&L-International commemorated his extraordinary contribute to science with a lecture held in New York last Saturday.
