Integrating the History, Philosophy, & Theory of Biology
I actually thank Watson in the acknowledgements of my book, where I note that he "was appalled that I had the audacity to criticize molecular biology’s Schrödingerian view of the cell. Paradoxically, I found Watson’s complaints rather reassuring, as they showed that I am not attacking a strawman"

When I presented my research on Schrödinger at CSHL, everyone was surprised to find Jim Watson seated up front in what was apparently his first public appearance since the pandemic. During my talk, he snored so loudly that he woke himself up, and in the Q&A he loudly described my argument as "Crap!"
