		A Science Odyssey: People and Discoveries: Dorothy Hodgkin ^Votes:0 --> Dorothy Hodgkin 1910 - 1994 Though born in the twentieth century, Dorothy Crowfoot Hodgkin had a typical late-nineteenth century upbringing. She was born in Cairo, Egypt, then a British colony. When Hodgkin was four, the family was back in England and World War I broke out. The parents returned to Egypt, leaving the children with family and governesses for four years. Hodgkin found an interest in chemistry and crystals, a popular hobby for women of leisure in the 1800s. But on her sixteenth birthday, she received a book by William Henry Bragg (a Nobelist in physics) about using x-rays to analyze crystals. She had found her life's work. When Hodgkin graduated from Oxford in 1932, jobs were scarce. She found a position in an x-ray crystallography lab studying biological crystals. This te Read More Go to Site

		Abraham Gesner ^Votes:0 Abraham Gesner (1797-1864) Abraham Gesner was born in Cornwallis Township, Nova Scotia, in 1797, with a love of geology in his bones.

Years down the road, Gesner studied medicine in London, England. Still interested in geology, he set up his medical practice near Parrsboro , Nova Scotia, where he knew there were fossils to be found. He often gathered specimens on his way to and from house calls, and built up an extensive collection. In 1838, he became the first government geologist in a British colony when appointed Provincial Geologist of New Brunswick.

		Robert Hooke ^Votes:0 R obert H ooke (1635-1703) No portrait survives of Robert Hooke. His name is somewhatobscure today, due in part to the enmity of his famous, influential,and extremely vindictive colleague, Sir Isaac Newton. Yet Hookewas perhaps the single greatest experimental scientist of theseventeenth century. His interests knew no bounds, ranging fromphysics and astronomy, to chemistry, biology, and geology, toarchitecture and naval technology; he collaborated or correspondedwith scientists as diverse as Christian Huygens, Antonyvan Leeuwenhoek , Christopher Wren, Robert Boyle, and Isaac Newton.Among other accomplishments, he invented the universal joint, the iris diaphragm,and an early prototype of the respirator; invented the anchor escapementand the balance spring, which made more accurat Read More Go to Site

		Rosalind Elsie Franklin: Pioneer Molecular Biologist ^Votes:0 Contents \| Next Born: London, England, July 25, 1920 Died: London, England, April 16, 1958 Pioneer Molecular Biologist T here is probably no other woman scientist with as much controversy surrounding her life and work as Rosalind Franklin. Franklin was responsible for much of the research and discovery work that led to the understanding of the structure of deoxyribonucleic acid, DNA. The story of DNA is a tale of competition and intrigue, told one way in James Watson's book The Double Helix, and quite another in Anne Sayre's study, Rosalind Franklin and DNA. James Watson, Francis Crick, and Maurice Wilkins received a Nobel Prize for the double-helix model of DNA in 1962, four years after Franklin's death at age 37 from ovarian cancer. Franklin excelled at science and attended one of the fe Read More Go to Site

		SIR HUMPHRY DAVY ^Votes:0 SIR HUMPHRY DAVY (1778-1829) Early Life Davy was born on December 17, 1778 in Penzance, Cornwall, England. He received his education in Penzance and in Truro. His father died in 1794, and Davy, in an effort to help support his family, became an apprentice to a surgeon-apothecary, J. Binghan Borlase. After reading Antoine Lavoisier's Traite Elementaire , Davy in 1797 became interested in chemistry. (2) The Oxides of Nitrogen When Davy was released from his indenture as a apprentice, he became superintendent of the Medical Pneumatic Institution of Bristol. This organization was devoted to the study of the medical value of various gases, and it was here that Davy first made his reputation. He studied the oxides of nitrogen and discovered the physiological effects of nitrous oxide, which becam Read More Go to Site

		St. Louis Walk of Fame - Carl & Gerty Cori ^Votes:0 ST. LOUIS WALK OF FAME C ARL & G ERTY C ORI Carl Ferdinand Cori and Gerty Theresa Radnitz earned medical degrees from the German University of Prague in 1920 and married later that year. After they joined the Washington University School of Medicine in 1931, their discovery of the mechanism for blood glucose regulation earned them the Nobel Prize in 1947. Gerty Cori was the first American woman to be so honored. In addition, six eventual Nobel laureates received training in their laboratory. Carl Cori said of their remarkable collaboration: "Our efforts have been largely complementary, and one without the other would not have gone so far..." Clifford Will, Professor & Chairman of Physics, Washington University accepted the award on behalf of Carl and Gerty Cori. Date of Birth Fie Read More Go to Site

		Table of contents for The World of Benjamin Franklin ^Votes:0 Catch glimpses of Ben's life, accompanied by the Ben Franklin theme music. Ben's contributions to science are numerous. Ben's electrical experimentation was both a hobby and a career. The power of lightning awed and intrigued Franklin. Hear the sound of thunder. Inquiry-based teaching tips for lightning are offered. In fine tradition, Michael Faraday continued electrical experimentation. See a portrait of Michael Faraday. Thomas Edison's many inventions changed the way we live our lives. See a portrait of Thomas Edison in his workshop. A few of Edison's most famous inventions are illustrated. Alexander Graham Bell is considered as a counterpart to Ben.

		The Life and Thought of Robert Boyle ^Votes:0 The Life and Thought of Robert Boyle By Michael Hunter Birkbeck College, University of London Contents Life and Works Thought and Significance Bibliography Life and Works ROBERT BOYLE (1627-91) was the prime exemplar of the experimental philosophy espoused by the Royal Society in its formative years. In a whole series of books in which experimental and experiential data was carefully expounded, Boyle sought to vindicate a mechanistic view of nature at the expense of rival theories, notably the worldview associated with Aristotelian scholasticism. Boyle was also a major apologist for the new science, expounding its rationale, working out its philosophical implications and reflecting at length on the mutual relations between science and religion. Recent studies have added a new dimension to Read More Go to Site

		Women in science - Physik - IrÈne Joliot-Curie ^Votes:0 IrÈne Joliot-Curie 1897-1956 IrÈne Joliot-Curie was born in Paris, and she attended the College Sevigne. She worked as an assistant to her mother at the Institute Radium of the University of Paris beginning in 1918. In 1934, she and her husband Fredric Joliot studied how positive electrons (positrons) could be emitted when high-energy radioactive particles passed through matter. They also showed how a radioactive isotope of nitrogen could be produced by the assault of boron by alpha particles. They won the Noble Prize of Chemistry in 1935 for creating new radioactive elements. IrÈne also studied uranium and was the head of the Radium Institute starting in 1946. In 1948, she made a nuclear reactor operational as a member of the French Atomic Energy Commission. She was the daughter of Physic Read More Go to Site
