dr. james watson discovers DNA, drops ball

Watson, the guy on the left, was instrumental in the discovery of the double helix structure of molecular DNA. 45 years later (now), his speeches at prominent scientific forums are getting canceled.

Something to do with a little thing or two he said, namely that he thinks black people aren't as smart as white people, and that women should have the right to abort their babies if it could be proven they would be gay.

What a jerk.

Scientific progress is a treacherous path, people. Treacherous.
