摘要

What a great adventure!At the age of thirty one a physical science researcher shifted to Biological field. It was not that he was least interested in physics rather the fact was, during the World War II he worked for the Admiralty doing mostly research and design on magnetic and acoustic mines, when profession was his passion. After that he suddenly changed his mind set up.In his famous book What Mad Pursuit: A Personal View of Scientific Discovery, he wrote how at that stage he changed his scientific career:- "Quickly I narrowed down my interests to two main areas: the borderline between the living and the nonliving, and the workings of the brain. Further introspection showed me that what these two subjects had in common was that they touched on problems which, in many circles, seemed beyond the power of science to explain." It had long been known that one inherit traits from his parents, but no one had any good idea how his father's skin colour or his mother's eye colour were encoded in invisibly small molecules even fifty years back. Thanks largely to the work of Francis Crick and his circle of friends. He along with other researchers worked out the molecular basis of that inheritance character- the structure of DNA. The year 2016 is the birth centenary of Francis Harry Compton Crick and this article is to tribute him.
