I just hope I don't get a bad dementia. As long as I can play credible tennis I think I belong in science. When I can't exercise I think my brain will go as well.

James Watson has become what you would call a theoretical biologist now. He spends his time trying to make connections in different areas of biology.

I come into my office 7 days a week because I like science.

I think that new ideas come from knowing more than other people. I've been a voracious reader all my life. I'm constantly filling my brain with half memories of things I think might be important.

One of the earliest of such investigative lines was inaugurated by work done by Hebb⁽¹⁾ in contrasting the development of rats blinded in infancy with normal rats. The two groups were tested subsequently by a rat intelligence test. A far greater degree of intelligence was observed in maturity in the controlled rats than in the blinded animals.
