In 1947, he conventional a B.Sc. degree in Zoology. During these years his boyhood attention in bird-watching had developed into a serious wish to learn genetics. This became possible when he received a Fellowship for mark off study in Zoology at Indiana University in Bloomington, where he conventional his Ph.D. degree in Zoology in 1950. At Indiana, he was deeply unfair both by the geneticists H. J. Muller and T. M. Sonneborn, and by S. E. Luria, the Italian-born microbiologist then on the staff of Indiana's Bacteriology Department. Watson's Ph.D. thesis, done under Luria's able leadership, was a study of the effect of hard X-rays on bacteriophage multiplication.
