York to become full-time director of Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory. In 1988 he was appointed associate director for human genome research at the National Institutes of Health (NIH), and in 1989 he was appointed director of the NIH's National Center for Human Genome Research. In 1992 Watson returned to Cold Spring Harbor, after successfully launching a worldwide effort to map and sequence the human genome.

In 1977 Watson received the Presidential Medal of Freedom. He has also received honorary degrees from many universities, including the University of Cambridge (1993) and the University of Oxford (1995). He holds the National Medal of Science, the Philadelphia Liberty Medal, and the Benjamin Franklin Medal of the American Philosophical Society. Queen Elizabeth II has proclaimed him an honorary knight of the British Empire. Today he serves as chancellor of Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory.

Watson has also achieved great success as a writer. While a professor at Harvard, he wrote the seminal text Molecular Biology of the Gene and the best-selling autobiographical volume The Double Helix; he recently published DNA: The Secret of Life and Genes, Girls, and Gamow: After the Double Helix.
