Once again, here is a video that I’ve rescued from oblivion. This is another video that was located on the old video server that was decommissioned a year or so ago. With days to spare, I had all (I hope) of the videos transferred onto a normal hard disk drive. The server was then scrapped, and the hard drive either erased or destroyed.
During the 2007 year of Imperial’s centenary, many special lectures were given, and here is a very special one indeed. James Watson (1928–2025), along with Francis Crick, is famed for the 1953 proposal of DNA structure. He gave the special centenary lecture entitled “Rules for Important Science“ on 18 June 2007.
The quality of the image is not going to be great, as I’ve had to convert and enhance it from an old “RealVideo” encoded” video file.
