To commemorate the 60th anniversary of the publication of the structure of DNA, and the approaching centenary of the birth of Francis Crick, the Federation of European Biochemical Soceities (FEBS) and the Agouron Institute sponsored in conjunction with Gonville and Caius College a unique and historic meeting given by colleagues who were present at the time and by historians of science. This will be the last decennial meeting in which those colleagues are likely to be able to present lectures.
The meeting took place in Cambridge, UK (Babbage Lecture Theatre, New Museums Site, Pembroke Street) on 25th April 2013. Video recordings of all of the day's talks are available here (courtesy of the University of Cambridge Streaming Media Service), or links to the indvidual talks are available below.
