Also important not to forget the invisble support these "great men of science" had - in Crick's case, a loving wife who organised everything domestically (inc house moves, children etc), and a series of secretaries/assistants (all female, I think) who dealt with admin.
Loved this brilliant biography of Crick by @matthewcobb.bsky.social But what struck me from the start: it's also a portrait of a lost time in science: no grant applications or teaching, big travel budgets: the job only to think, talk & get science done. Future scientific biogs will be so different.

Over the past 24 hours, the forecast for Jamaica has become even more ominous.
Hurricane Melissa is now expected to make landfall at Category 5 strength — with more than 1 meter of rainfall.
Melissa will be as bad as Hurricane Gilbert (1988). It could take years for the country to recover.
