From PAUL DAVIES
Lawrence Bragg was Australian, not British as stated in Gunther Stent’s
article (‘DNA’s stroke of genius’, 24 April). He was born in Adelaide, and
educated at the University of Adelaide, where his father, William Henry
Bragg, pioneered x-ray research as Professor of Mathematics and
Experimental Physics. The Braggs moved to England in 1900.
