According to Wikipedia, February 28, 1953 is the day that James Watson and Francis Crick told friends and associates that they had determined the chemical structure of the DNA molecule. This certainly has had wide reaching implications for much of daily life, medical science, and law enforcement - rarely does a day go by that one doesn't hear something in the news or other media relating to genetics.
Today, 55 years on, "Their Finest Hour" recognizes Watson and Crick's discoveries - certainly a finest hour!
