structure, is selling his 1962 Nobel Prize medal in order to “re-enter
public life” after making controversial comments about race.
In 2007, The Independent reported that Watson told The Sunday Times he
thought Africans lacked intelligence:
“He was ‘inherently gloomy about the prospect of Africa’ because ‘all
our social policies are based on the fact that their intelligence is the
same as ours – whereas all the testing says not really.’
Watson won the Nobel Prize with Francis Crick and Maurice Wilkins nine years
after their breakthrough discovery.
According to The International Business Times, Watson has not given a public
lectures since his comment, adding that “no one really wants to admit I
exist.”
Now, his medal will be for sale on Dec. 4 at Christie’s auction house in
New York for somewhere between $2.5 and $3.5 million, according to the Los
Angeles Times.
The Financial Times reported that when the medal is sold, Watson will donate
some of the money to institutions that helped him along the way. Also
according to The Times, Watson said his “income has fallen” after he made
the remarks. |

那样20万一小时，但也不菲。新闻里说自从他说了那句老实话以后，就再没人邀请他演
讲了。
