Saying Goodbye To The Kojo Nnamdi Show
On this last episode, we look back on 23 years of joyous, difficult and always informative conversation.
James Watson helped discover the “secret of life” more than fifty years ago, and won a Nobel Prize for revealing DNA structure. But now he’s sharing less-scientific wisdom on social graces, personal obsessions and the ultimate rules for cocktail chit-chat. Kojo talks with James Watson about his life in science, and how to get along in a competitive world.
Guests
