I’m interested in seeing what your opinions are. I was hoping to learn a thing or two from what you prefer.
Life sciences UG so Darwin and Mendel are obvious choices and later the biochemistry and medicine/pathology pioneers.BadgerBadger92 said:I’m interested in seeing what your opinions are. I was hoping to learn a thing or two from what you prefer.
My favorite scientist is Marie Curie because of her groundbreaking work in radioactivity, which not only challenged the scientific norms of her time but also laid the foundation for numerous advancements in both physics and chemistry. Her dedication and perseverance in the face of adversity, as well as her historic achievements as a double Nobel laureate, make her an inspiring figure.
I greatly admire Jennifer Doudna for her role in developing CRISPR-Cas9, a revolutionary gene-editing technology. Her work has opened up new possibilities in genetic engineering with vast potential benefits for medicine, agriculture, and beyond, demonstrating a profound impact on the capabilities of molecular biology.
In the field of physics, Albert Einstein has had an enormous influence. His theory of relativity changed our understanding of space, time, and gravity, reshaping the landscape of theoretical physics and opening up new pathways for research in cosmology and quantum mechanics.
I would have liked to meet Isaac Newton. His formulation of the laws of motion and universal gravitation, as well as his work with calculus, were monumental. Meeting him would provide invaluable insights into his thought processes and the challenges he overcame during his era of scientific discovery.
Rosalind Franklin is particularly inspirational due to her crucial yet underrecognized work in discovering the DNA double helix structure. Her meticulous X-ray diffraction studies laid the groundwork for understanding the molecular structures of DNA, which has had a lasting impact on genetics and biochemistry.
