MAURICE HUGH FREDERICK WILKINS PASSED SHORTLY AFTER FRANCIS CRICK Maurice Wilkins died last Wednesday, 70 days after Francis Crick’s passing. Maurice Hugh Frederick Wilkins, who shared a Nobel Prizes with James Watson and Francis Crick for one of the most celebrated discoveries of the last century, was 87. He pioneered a technique The Third Man of the Double Helix , as his autobiography published last year billed him, worked on the DNA project with Rosalind Franklin -nicknamed “the dark lady of DNA”- the scientist who took the X-ray photograph that gave Watson and Crick their celebrated eureka moment. Wilkins, born in Pongaroa, New Zealand, was still a staff member of the King’s College in London where he had worked since 1946.

MAURICE HUGH FREDERICK WILKINS E’ MORTO POCO DOPO FRANCIS CRICK Lo scorso mercoledì 6 ottobre è scomparso Wilkins, a soli 70 giorni dalla morte di Francis Crick (vedi Note e Notizie ”); era il Terzo Uomo del DNA, come egli stesso si è definito nel titolo dell’autobiografia pubblicata lo scorso anno. Come nel copione di un consumato autore che ha scritto con la loro vita la storia della biologia dell’ultimo mezzo secolo, questi due giganti della scienza se ne sono andati quasi insieme, rispettando la rappresentazione che nell’immaginario collettivo voleva Wilkins sempre un passo indietro. E così è stato anche per le immediate commemorazioni. Il suo stile riservato, che lo teneva lontano dalla vita mondana e dalla cronaca scientifica, lo ha penalizzato in termini di notorietà, ma ciò non ha impedito a tutti coloro che lo abbiano conosciuto, direttamente od indirettamente, di ammirarlo come esempio di scienziato e di uomo. Proprio come modello del puro desiderio di conoscere sostenuto dal rigore scientifico e come simbolo di quella stagione fortunata della ricerca, lo citava il nostro presidente, Giuseppe Perrella, in una nota scritta lo scorso anno ( vedi Note e Notizie 1953-2003: i cinquant’anni della doppia elica e le celebrazioni sbagliate Maurice Hugh Frederick Wilkins era nato nel 1916 a Pongaroa, in Nuova Zelanda, da genitori irlandesi. Laureato in fisica, si dedicò alla biofisica sperimentando tra i primi un particolare tipo di tecnica di diffrazione dei raggi-X chiamata “fibre diffraction” in grado di rivelare la struttura di macromolecole filamentose come il collagene e il DNA. Precedentemente le immagini a raggi-X potevano essere ottenute solo da cristalli.

Heroes Maurice Wilkins Living In Paradise Student of John Randell ... Nancy Wake Maurice Wilkins DNA ENABLER A Nobel Prize winner in Physiology and Medicine in 1962 for his contribution to the discovery of the structure of DNA - the very essence of life itself - and a New Zealander by birth, Maurice Wilkins is among our greatest achievers. Research undertaken by Maurice Wilkins with support from Rosalind Franklin led to the discovery in 1953 by American geneticist James Watson and British biophysicist Francis Crick of the DNA molecule structure. The discovery revolutionised biology and medicine this century. DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) is known as the 'building blocks of life'. It contains material that is unique to the individual but also inherited. It can tell us possible future diseases an individual may suffer, or any number of human characteristics. Because it is unique, DNA testing is now a common tool used by police for accurately pinpointing criminals, the same way fingerprinting has been used for the last 100 years. Crick and Watson's announcement of a structure for DNA and how it is made of nucleic acid suggested how it might replicate, mutate, and be expressed. They proposed that the DNA molecule takes the shape of a double helix, an elegantly simple structure that resembles a gently-twisted ladder. The rails of the ladder are made of alternating units of phosphate and the sugar deoxyribose; the rungs are each composed of a pair of nitrogen-containing nucleotides.

X-ray diffraction pictures done by Wilkins and his assistant/co-worker Rosalind Franklin on the aligned fibers within DNA were seen by James Watson and Francis Crick who, incorporating what it revealed, were then able to build an accurate, detailed model of the DNA molecule. Wilkins, Watson, and Crick were jointly awarded the Nobel Prize in Physiology and Medicine in 1962. As a graduate student, Wilkins’s doctoral thesis had dealt with the study of the thermal stability of trapped electrons on phosphors, and on the theory of phosphorescence in terms of electron. Wilkins applied his research, during WWII, to improving Cathode-ray tube screens for radar. He then worked for a time under M.L.E. Oliphant (who had been Rutherford's deputy of research at Cambridge) studying the separation of isotopes in bombs. Not surprisingly, Wilkins and others in the research group were brought on board the Manhattan Project and moved all the way to Berkeley, California where they continued their research under the direction of Ernest Lawrence and

Visit our new gallery of Perpetual Motion Machines through the centuries DECEMBER 15 - BIRTHS Freeman Dyson (source) Born 15 Dec 1923 Freeman (John) Dyson is a physicist and educator best known for his speculative work on extraterrestrial civilizations. As an imaginative scientist he proposed that a highly advanced technological civilization would ultimately completely surround its host star with a huge shell to capture 100% of the useful radiant energy. This "Dyson shell", would have a gigantic cluster of artificial planetoids ("Dyson cloud") with billions of billions of inhabitants who would make use of the energy captured by the Dyson shell. He also made the intriguing speculation that a Dyson shell viewed from other galaxies would have a highly distinctive, unnatural light. He suggests astronomers search for such tell-tale colored stars, which should signify advanced, intelligent life. Maurice Wilkins (source) Born 15 Dec 1916; died 5 Oct 2004.

He believes that he got his love of exploration and adventure during his early years in New Zealand. These traits have proved to be useful in his career as a scientist. He studied physics as an undergraduate at St. John's College in Cambridge. He graduated from Cambridge in 1938. He went to work with John Randall at Birmingham University on improving the radar systems used during World War II. Some of the work he did then is still used in radar systems today. In 1943, the physics department at Birmingham University, including Maurice Wilkins, moved to Berkeley, California to work on the Manhattan Project. At the time, this project to design and build an atomic bomb was all part of the war effort. However, after the devastating effects of the atomic bomb at Hiroshima and Nagasaki, Maurice Wilkins became and continues to be against the use of nuclear weapons.
