Edison: Of all his useful inventions his most famous one was the light bulb
Fleming: His discovery of penicillin is said to have revolutionized the medicine industry tremendously
Faraday: His laws and terminologies of the process of electrolysis are the spine of chemistry
Bell: Though he invented it he considered the telephone to be intruding and did not have one where he worked
Banting: He started in politics and ended in medicine. He is one of two to get the Nobel prize for developing insulin
Best: Not officially named as a Nobel prize winner for the discovery of insulin he was later identified as playing a key part in its discovery, all because he won a coin toss
Curie: The first woman to win a Nobel prize, the only woman to win in two fields, and the only person to win in multiple sciences – physics and chemistry.
Einstein: E = mc^2 developer
Newton: Discovered gravitational force, established three universal laws of motion, came up with binomial theorem and was a co-creator of calculus
Pasteur: As a chemist and microbiologist he is most remembered for his remarkable breakthroughs in the causes and preventions of diseases
Hubble: This American astronomer played a crucial role in establishing the field of extragalactic astronomy, he not only has law’s in his name but an orbiting telescope
Crick: One of those awarded the Nobel prize for discovering the structure of DNA he is widely known for using the term “central dogma” to summarize the idea that genetic information essentially flows one-way
Mendeleev: This Russian inventor created the first version of the periodic table of elements and used it to predict the properties of yet to be discovered elements
Watson: Of the three awarded the Nobel prize for discovering the structure of DNA he is the only one still alive
Fischer: He developed ____ esterification and the ____ projection, a symbolic way of drawing asymmetric carbon atoms
Hawking: This British scientist is well known for his work on theories of general relativity, quantum mechanics and black holes
vanLeeuwenhoek: Considered the father of microbiology he is better known for his work on microscopes
Teller: This Hungarian-American physicist had many notable contributions; the one title he did not care for was that of “the father of the hydrogen bomb”
Salk: This medical researcher and virologist is best known for his discovery and development of the first successful polio vaccine
Libby: He won the Nobel prize for leading the team that developed carbon-14, or radiocarbon, dating. He also discovered that tritium could be used for dating water, and therefore wine.
