Budding scientist Watson gains early fame in Alabama
At Parker High School in Birmingham 16 year old Bracie Watson built an artificial womb for rat embryos and conducted kidney transplant work. His experiments earned first prize at a Negro science fair and second place at an international medicine division by April 1967. He later spent a summer in Dr. Contopoulos lab in San Francisco before returning to the Birmingham area.
